The 12th Symposium builds on over a decade of meetings dedicated to the health and wellbeing of children and adolescents born HIV-free to women living with HIV, an estimated global population of nearly 16 million. This session titled, “Long-term follow-up: From data to action“ looks at why it matters to consistently track perinatal HIV and antiretroviral exposure to understand long-term outcomes. It brings in perspectives from the community on lived experiences, alongside research such as the multi-country RISE Study, and considers how better data can inform policies and programmes that support the long-term health and development of affected children and adolescents.
