Adolescents and young people in Zambia are disproportionately affected by HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI) and have limited access to convenient, non-judgmental, and confidential sexual and reproductive health services including HIV/ STI testing and contraception. We will use community-based, participatory research to design and develop with AYP a service specification for a youth-friendly, digitally-supported pathway of care to overcome barriers to service access by offering increased convenience, privacy and confidentiality. The pathway will include: a mobile phone app for receiving health information and sexual health test results; vending machines located in-community dispensing a range of products including HIV self-testing kits, sampling kits for STIs (Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Trichomonas, Syphilis, HIV) and contraceptives; and a web application for medical review of test results and treatment prescription.? A service specification and prototype versions of the app, vending machine interface, and web application will be completed in this project, ready for implementation in a future trial.?

赞比亚的青少年尤其容易受到艾滋病毒和性传播感染 (STI) 的影响，并且获得方便、非评判性和保密的性健康和生殖健康服务（包括艾滋病毒/性传播感染检测和避孕）的机会有限。我们将利用基于社区的参与性研究，与 AYP 一起设计和开发青年友好型、数字化支持的护理途径的服务规范，通过提供更多的便利性、隐私性和保密性来克服服务获取的障碍。该途径将包括：用于接收健康信息和性健康测试结果的手机应用程序；社区内的自动售货机出售一系列产品，包括艾滋病毒自检套件、性传播感染（淋病、衣原体、毛滴虫、梅毒、艾滋病毒）采样套件和避孕药具；以及用于对测试结果和治疗处方进行医学审查的网络应用程序。该项目将完成应用程序、自动售货机界面和网络应用程序的服务规范和原型版本，为将来的试验做好准备。
