Using Peers to Improve Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights of Young People Living with HIV In Uganda: Findings from A Link Up Evaluation.This brief presents the findings of an evaluation of the Link Up project's peer support program in Uganda, which worked with young people living with HIV (YPLHIV) to improve their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). The evaluation was conducted by the Population Council, in partnership with Makerere University’s Child Health and Development Centre (CHDC). The brief describes the peer-based intervention in Uganda, explaining how the program trained peer educators to connect with networks of new and existing YPLHIV peer support groups, where they would provide health education and counselling on topics relevant to YPLHIV, including relationships, fertility awareness, safe conception, preventing HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) transmission, HIV-related stigma, and the rights of YPLHIV to obtain comprehensive SRHR and HIV services.
