The New Horizons Advancing Pediatric and Adolescent HIV Treatment Collaborative Initiative, Lesotho

Overview

With funding from Johnson & Johnson and in partnership with the Lesotho MOH, EGPAF provides technical assistance on pediatric second- and third-line ART access. This project, which ran in Uganda from 2018 to 2020, aims to improve sustainable ART service delivery for children and confront challenges faced by adolescents around disclosure, adherence, and psychosocial support. The heart of the Collaborative is a darunavir/etravirine donation program, which increases the availability of third-line pediatric and adult ART for children and adolescents failing second-line treatment.
