However, thorough descriptions of AYFHS for AYLH remain scarce.

Descriptive analyses characterized the health services available across the participating sites, using frequencies and proportions for categorical variables and medians and interquartile range for continuous variables. Data were analysed using RStudio.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Overall, 13 of 16 sites (81%) reported having dedicated adolescent services, which most often consisted of dedicated clinic days (62%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 8\/13), primarily offered on weekdays. Across all sites, nurses and counsellors delivered services to adolescents. Over half of all clinics (69%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 11\/16) reported offering health education to adolescents to facilitate adolescent health literacy. Peer educators and navigators were involved in delivering services at 62% of sites, primarily in those with dedicated adolescent services (69%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 9\/13). There was limited integration of sexual and reproductive health services into HIV clinics for adolescents. With 63% of clinics conducting pregnancy screening, 50% providing family planning methods and 38% providing cervical cancer screening. Under half of all HIV clinics screened for physical abuse or violence (44%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 7\/16) and sexual abuse or rape (38%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 6\/16). A low proportion of clinics screened for risk factors related to young key populations, including drug use (56%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 9\/16), homelessness (38%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 6\/16) young men having sex with men (31%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 5\/16) and transactional sex (31%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 5\/16). Mental health screening for concerns was variable.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Findings suggest gaps in AYFHS for AYLH across the HIV clinics included in this analysis.
