The Adolescent Transition Package (ATP) will include two components. The validated Namibia comic book for disclosure (to be used with children over 10 years of age) and transition booklet "Taking Charge" developed by stakeholders in Kenya. The disclosure tool includes a cartoon book, readiness and tracking tools used in clinic and health care worker training material. The intervention progresses from incomplete to complete disclosure using a narrative about soldiers fighting the battle of infection as the rationale for taking medicine. This tool has been validated for use in Namibia. The adapted transition toolkit includes a transition booklet, tracking tools to be used by health care workers and a readiness assessment checklist to be completed by study staff. The booklet has 4 chapters addressing key areas to support adolescents gain the knowledge and skills they need in adult care. The 4 chapters are: HIV treatment literacy, self management, communication and support.
