Description:The Red Carpet Program (RCP) is a fast-track, peer-navigated program to provide linkage to care and retention on ART for newly HIV-diagnosed adolescents and youth in Homa Bay County, Kenya. The comprehensive, fast-track program includes boarding school, health care facilities, and peer involvement services. RCP services in boarding schools include ART adherence support, medication storage, anti-HIV stigma education and advocacy, sexual and reproductive health counseling, and linkage to HIV testing/counseling and health care. RCP services in health care facilities include a 3-day, capacity-building workshop for healthcare workers and peer educators in providing care for adolescents and youth with HIV. In the workshop, health care workers and peer educators learn to address and deliver key topics in HIV, sexual and reproductive health, and mental health needs and services. Additionally, RCP includes very important person (VIP) express services in which a VIP express card is issued to adolescents and youth testing positive for HIV. These services include fast-track access to healthcare facilities, peer counseling, psychosocial support services, and a hotline. RCP services involving peers include identifying adolescents and youth with HIV as participants for the Adolescent and Youth Peer Advisory Group (AYPAG) that informs development and implementation of RCP services. Other services include a 2-day, capacitybuilding workshop on key issues in adolescent and youth HIV support that is conducted with adolescent and youth advocates (including, but not limited to adolescents and youth with HIV), teachers who provide counseling and guidance, matrons, and nurses.
