Integrated service delivery, providing coordinated services in a convenient manner, is important in HIV prevention and
treatment for adolescents as they have interconnected health care needs related to HIV care, sexual and reproductive health
and disease prevention. This review aimed to (1) identify key components of adolescent-responsive integrated service
delivery in low and middle-income countries, (2) describe projects that have implemented integrated models of HIV care
for adolescents, and (3) develop action steps to support the implementation of sustainable integrated models. We developed
an implementation science-informed conceptual framework for integrated delivery of HIV care to adolescents and applied
the framework to summarize key data elements in ten studies or programs across seven countries. Key pillars of the framework included (1) the socioecological perspective, (2) community and health care system linkages, and (3) components of
adolescent-focused care. The conceptual framework and action steps outlined can catalyze design, implementation, and
optimization of HIV care for adolescents.
