A strengths-based telehealth coaching intervention was delivered to youth at-risk for or living with HIV in Los Angeles and New Orleans within the context of several linked HIV prevention and treatment continua studies.

These results demonstrate the utility of self-determination and choice-based frameworks in sexual health promotion efforts for youth.
