The theme of the pre-conference is Opportunities to support children and adolescents with perinatal HIV exposure – recognizing differences and similarities in needs.
This is the largest annual forum for scientific and policy dialogue around children and adolescents with perinatal HIV exposure. It builds on nine years of convenings focused on the health and well-being of the nearly 16 million children and adolescents who experienced in-utero or breastfeeding exposure to HIV but did not acquire HIV
The pre-conference will reflect on current research findings on effective interventions and policies aimed at supporting children and adolescents with perinatal HIV exposure. It will focus attention on the needs of infants, children and adolescents with perinatal HIV exposure and their caregivers, with an emphasis on optimizing outcomes.
