\n3.1. Current or recent involvement in the care of the people aged 18-29 with PAH<\/p>\n

Phase 2 \u2013 Feasibility trial:
\n1. Aged 18 to 25 years inclusive in Uganda, and aged 18-29 inclusive in the UK
\n2. Living with PAH. PAH status will be ascertained using the following criteria: HIV diagnosis before 15 years, evidence of parental HIV+ diagnosis\/maternal death consistent with HIV, no other risk factors for behavioural acquisition
