Factors that Influence Sexual and Reproductive Health Information Offered to Adolescents with Perinatally-Acquired HIV: An Ecological Analysis of Provider Perspectives

The goal of our project was to examine health and social service provider views of factors that influence the nature and timing of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information shared with adolescents with perinatally-acquired HIV (PHIV). Health care (n=6) and social service (n=7) providers (11.6 mean years caring for adolescents with PHIV) completed audiorecorded interviews which were transcribed, and coded for emerging themes. Analyses revealed multiple levels of influence best understood in the context of the ecological model.
