Building Health Systems Capacity Reaching HIV Epidemic Viral Suppression Targets in All Children and Adolescents
Published July 17, 2024
Great progress has been made by many countries in reaching the UN 95-95-95 targets for HIV epidemic control, and several countries are approaching or have achieved them. However, children and adolescents living with HIV (CALHIV) consistently fall behind adults in reaching these targets, and the third 95 target of sustained…

Project Brief
Building Health Systems Capacity to Manage Pediatric HIV
Published July 17, 2024
As countries work towards the UNAIDS 95-95-95 goals for HIV epidemic control, the third 95 of viral suppression becomes pivotal, especially for children and adolescents living with HIV (CALHIV). An estimated 10-20% of CALHIV have an unsuppressed viral load (VL) on their current first- or second-line antiretroviral therapy (ART)…

Consistency of Multi-Month Antiretroviral Therapy Dispensing and Association with Viral Load Coverage Among Pediatric Clients Living with HIV in Mozambique
Published June 25, 2024
Abstract With the increase in uptake of multi-month antiretroviral therapy dispensing (MMD) for children, little is known about consistency of MMD receipt over time and its association with virological outcomes. This analysis aims to assess the uptake of 3-month MMD among children, consistent receipt of MMD after uptake, and clinical…

Technical Brief on Paediatric HIV Case-Finding
Published May 6, 2024
Despite global progress in HIV treatment for children, the gap between adult and paediatric treatment coverage continues to widen. This gap is driven primarily by barriers to HIV diagnosis in children, but in the past decade those barriers have shifted. At the start of the epidemic, the lack of access…

Early Effects of Scaling Up Dolutegravir‑Based ARV Regimens Among Children Living with HIV in Malawi
Published April 17, 2024
Viral suppression (VS) in children has remained suboptimal compared to that in adults. We evaluated the impact of transitioning children weighing < 20 kg to a pediatric formulation of dolutegravir (pDTG) on VS in Malawi. We analyzed routine retrospective program data from electronic medical record systems pooled across 169 healthcare…
