Change in proportion of adolescents testing HIV-positive linked to care and treatment services by age and sex during the preintervention (January–March 2016) and postintervention (January–March 2017) periods in Western Kenya. Linkage to care and treatment is a key challenge in adolescent HIV case finding. The comprehensive intervention package aimed to improve the rate of linkage to care for adolescents testing HIV-positive in the postintervention period. The linkage to care rate was assessed by age cohort (10–14 years and 15–19 years) and sex. The proportion of adolescents testing HIV-positive and linked to care improved from 61.6% in the preintervention period to 94% in the postintervention period.
