This brief was commissioned by UNICEF for the Economic Policy Research Institute to create policy briefs on how social protection intervention can become more HIV-sensitive and influence HIV prevention, treatment and care outcomes. Detailed in this brief are pathways in which social protection contributes to HIV prevention, especially through cash transfers. Social, economic and structural drivers of HIV in adolescents are explored in this document, as well as policy recommendations. Policymakers and program managers working in HIV prevention or social protection may find this brief as an important resource for intersecting the two.
