Using a human-centered design approach, we codesigned CombinADO, an intervention to improve antiretroviral therapy adherence and retention in care among adolescents and young people living with HIV (AYAHIV) in Nampula, Mozambique. CombinADO aims to foster peer connectedness and belonging, provide accessible medical knowledge, demystify and destigmatize HIV, and cultivate a sense of hope among AYAHIV.

- Open AccessLet's Talk About Sex: Improving Measurement of Contraceptive Use in Cross-Sectional Surveys by Accounting for Sexual Activity RecencySuzanne O. Bell, Elizabeth Larson, Shannon N.

Findings suggest that the contraceptive use of unmarried women and those who were not recently sexually active are less likely to be captured in standard measures of current contraceptive use. Incorporating information from questions about contraceptive use at last sex may better capture coital-dependent method use and provide a more accurate assessment of who is protected against an unintended pregnancy at next sex.

Findings suggest that the contraceptive use of unmarried women and those who were not recently sexually active are less likely to be captured in standard measures of current contraceptive use. Incorporating information from questions about contraceptive use at last sex may better capture coital-dependent method use and provide a more accurate assessment of who is protected against an unintended pregnancy at next sex.

Findings suggest that the contraceptive use of unmarried women and those who were not recently sexually active are less likely to be captured in standard measures of current contraceptive use. Incorporating information from questions about contraceptive use at last sex may better capture coital-dependent method use and provide a more accurate assessment of who is protected against an unintended pregnancy at next sex.
