9th workshop on children and adolescents with perinatal HIV exposure

The 9th workshop on children and adolescents with perinatal HIV exposure builds on eight years of workshops convened by the Collaborative Initiative for Paediatric HIV Education & Research (CIPHER) and partners. The workshops focus on the health and wellbeing of the nearly 16 million children and adolescents who did not acquire HIV but experienced in utero or breastfeeding exposure to HIV. Past workshops have highlighted health and development disparities in this population of children and adolescents affected by HIV, attracting attention and action from policymakers, implementers and funders within and beyond the HIV response. This year the theme of the workshop will be “Moving beyond a negative HIV test: Establishing a thrive agenda for children and adolescents with perinatal HIV exposure”. The workshop will be of interest to researchers, clinicians, programme implementers, policymakers and advocates. Join us for this workshop that will be a catalyst for shaping research agendas and health policies to support this population of children and adolescents to reach their fullest possible potential.
