Declarations
:
: The study received ethical approval from the Eswatini Ministry of Health National Research Review Board and the MSF Ethics Review Board (ID 1827). HIV counsellors recruited AGYW and PBW, explaining the study before seeking permission for the research team to phone them to schedule an interview. The research staff then explained the purpose of the study and procedures to participants both verbally and in writing. Then, informed written consent was obtained from every participant. The participants were assured that their participation was voluntary and that they were free to withdraw from the interview or focus group discussion. The Ministerial Review Board and the Institutional Review Board approved the collection of consent in this manner. We confirm that all methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations.
