Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Regarding HIV/AIDS Among Adolescents in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camps in Mogadishu, Somalia: A Descriptive Cross‐Sectional Study
Adolescents in IDP camps in Mogadishu demonstrated poor knowledge, stigmatizing attitudes, and risky HIV/AIDS practices. These findings highlight the urgent need for culturally sensitive educational programs, improved access to testing and counselling services, and community-based stigma reduction interventions for this vulnerable population.
