Together Learning Choices

Targeted HIV+ subpopulations: Youth

Effective Interventions

Together Learning Choices (TLC) is an effective intervention for young people, aged 13 to 29, living with HIV, and it is delivered in small groups. This program helps young people living with HIV identify ways to increase use of health care, decrease risky sexual behavior and drug and alcohol use, and improve quality of life. It emphasizes how contextual factors influence ability to respond effectively to stressful situations, solve problems, and act effectively to reach goals.
