While great strides have been made in the care of people living with HIV, treatment success has been consistently better for adults than children. Data shows that more adults get on treatment and more adults stay on treatment than children. This is despite the evidence that early treatment for children works and saves lives. This is especially true for infants who, infected at birth, will have high mortality rates if not diagnosed and started on treatment. Quality care for infants, children, and adolescents is needed now to achieve optimal patient outcomes and reach the global goal of 95-95-95 to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030.

Nurses and other frontline HIV care providers are key to achieving these goals. This course will provide continuing education for frontline health workers to promote and provide high quality comprehensive care for children living with HIV. Let’s work together to help ensure all children and adolescents infected with HIV have a bright future.
