Missed opportunities for NCD multimorbidity prevention in adolescents and youth living with HIV in urban South Africa
Abstract: Background: Epidemiological transition in high HIV-burden settings is resulting in a rise in HIV/NCD multimorbidity. The majority of NCD risk behaviours start during adolescence, making this an important target group...
