Title: Improving comprehensive HIV and AIDS and sexual reproductive health services for young women in rural Eastern Cape: A case of Buffalo Metropolitan Municipality

The aim of the project is to address structural factors that impedes young women and adolescent girls from accessing comprehensive HIV and AIDS and SRH services within their local health facilities. In this study focus will be placed on reviewing current educational campaigns and HIV and AIDS community-oriented programmes implemented to address structural barriers to an all-encompassing HIV/AIDS treatment, care and support. Research findings are expected to shed insight into further participatory approaches that can be used to enhance HIV and AIDS and SRH services.
