Research Summary: Research conducted by Horizons and partners (2001) revealed that social relationships, including family interactions, may influence
young people’s decisions regarding HIV testing. The Young Voices of Hope (YVH) research study builds upon these findings by examining how individual, relational, and environmental factors influence adolescents’ demands for
and experiences with VCT. Such information is important in order to identify strategies for increasing the uptake of VCT by youth so that they can take advantage of the prevention and
care benefits of knowing their HIV status.
