The treatment of pediatric HIV infection, particularly of infants and young children, remains complex and problematic. Rapid growth and organ system maturation, as well as emotional and cognitive changes that occur across the developmental spectrum from infancy through adolescence, complicate drug development, and administration. Adherence outcomes in children have been less than robust and mental health and behavioral issues are emerging as critical to understand and address in order to ensure the success of long-term treatment. Additionally, while fewer infected children are being born, there are increasing concerns about the long-term impact of in utero and post-natal exposures to antiretroviral drugs for those children who escape HIV. Currently, an estimated 20% of all infants born in sub-Saharan Africa are exposed to HIV and antiretrovirals during pregnancy and the post-natal period.

The pediatric HIV cure agenda is an important emerging area of research. Early infant diagnosis is increasingly available globally, enabling the earlier identification of infection and provides new exciting opportunities to study acute infection in children and promising cure strategies. The HIV Pediatrics Workshop is the only meeting entirely devoted to research in the prevention and treatment of HIV infections in infants, children, and adolescents, making it the premier forum for the world’s leading researchers.
