[Comment] Digital stories and adolescent HIV prevention

Adolescent HIV prevention is at a crucial point. Despite advances in diagnostics, treatment, and service delivery, few approaches effectively reach adolescents before sexual debut.1 School, community, and health-system programmes have strengthened knowledge and access to services, yet many young people still enter their first sexual experiences without the skills or protection needed to reduce HIV risk. Early adolescence remains a pivotal but underserved stage,1 with limited interventions designed for this period and few assessed over the long term.
