The main aim of this study is to evaluate the impact and effectiveness of the scale up of the DREAMS HIV prevention package of biological, behavioural and social interventions in reducing HIV incidence in adolescent girls and young women residing in the uMkhanyakude district of KwaZulu-Natal. To achieve this aim, the changes in different outcomes will be assessed over time. The primary outcome will be HIV incidence and other key secondary outcomes will include knowledge of own HIV status, sexual debut, HSV-2, number of sexual partners, age-disparity with sexual partners, ever been pregnant, condom use, unmet need for contraception, transactional sex, education (remaining in school) and experiences of violence.

Closed cohorts of 800 AGYW will be followed prospectively at three time points over the two-year study period - baseline, 12 months and 24 months - at points closest aligned with periods before, during and after DREAMS implementation. In ACDIS cohorts of 400 girls aged 13-17 years and 400 young women aged 18-22 years will undergo informed consent, recruited undergo a baseline questionnaire and provide dry blood spots for HSV2 at the same time they provide a sample for the HIV testing in the surveillance and then reviewed annually for the next two years.

All data will be managed using electronic data management tools. The data management system for these will be based on REDCap (research electronic data capture) developed at Vanderbilt University. The REDCap database resides within a single MySQL database server within a secure server cluster at the AHRI. Survey data are synchronised by the REDCap application from the mobile device to a central MySQL server. Access control is managed through Microsoft Active Directory with minimum password complexity and compulsory password change policies.
