In this study, investigators will examine the efficacy of Safe South Africa, a behavioral intervention that is developmentally- and gender-tailored to prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and intimate partner violence (IPV) among adolescent boys. South Africa faces some of the highest global rates of HIV and IPV with sustained high incidence of HIV and alarming rates of IPV among adolescents and thus, is an ideal site to advance prevention science to tackle these urgent public health priorities. Testing the efficacy of an integrated intervention to prevent HIV risk behavior and IPV for adolescent boys can support optimal health for young people, their future partners, and society.
