ABSTRACT
There is an increasing worldwide concern ahout adolescent's health and de,·eiopment
problems. These health problems relate more particularly to the reproductive health.
This is an area where adolescents are fast growing physically. emotionally and morally.
The adolescents at this stage are always curious to find out different things including
sexual practices, relationships, socializing and modeling behaviours.
The researcher's aim was to assess the ARH programs available, percentage of those
adolescents that are HIV positive, barriers to the accessibility of the programs and lastly
to check whether HIV /Disease infection rate depends on the ARH programs available at
the health centre.
There are quite a number of services that were found to be provided by Muvubuka
Agunjuse as a teenage centre and these include STD/STI management and treatment ,
HIV counseling and testing , Guidance and counseling on sexually related issues ,
Family planning (e.g. issuing condoms and contraceptives). Outreach of the youth and
sensitization. Antenatal care ,Post abortion care and General Medical services.
An analysis of variance was done and the result shows that there is a relationship
between HIV prevalence and the ARH programs provided by the heal,th provider. Hence
HIV/Disease depends on the services delivered.
A nwnber of factors have affected the ARH service delivery, these include: in adequate
funding, lack of Parents and community supp01t, inadequate ARH trained health workers, lack of support supervision and inadequate drugs and equipment. In spite of all these inadequacies, majority of health providers are fhendly when serving adolescents.
