Understanding the intersection of perinatal HIV and sexual and reproductive health: A scoping review protocol

Bandile E. Ndlazi, David D. Mphuthi

Abstract

With the increasing prevalence of adolescents and young adults living with perinatally acquired HIV (AYA-PHIV) globally, there is a pressing need for a holistic management approach that addresses the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of this population. The proposed scoping review aims to systematically map the existing literature on perinatal HIV and SRHR, thereby enhancing our understanding of the global response to these issues and informing future research. The review will be conducted through a comprehensive electronic search across various databases. To facilitate the screening and reporting of relevant literature, scoping and systematic review software along with reference management tools will be utilised. A qualitative content analysis approach will be employed to gain insights into the phenomena. The review may serve as a precursor for a systematic review, guided by the findings. The collaborative approach of this review is expected to enhance the credibility of the processes and findings
