Co-Chairs:

In high HIV burden countries, up to 30% of children are now HIV exposed uninfected (HEU) but not HIV unaffected, as HEU children experience worse outcomes than their unexposed peers. Since 2015, the HEU Child and Adolescent Workshop has provided a unique forum for policy and scientific dialogue around the short, medium and long-term well-being of HEU children. This year, we will look beyond the biological consequences of HIV-exposure to explore its implications for early childhood development policy and programming and its psychosocial impact on adolescents. Join us for an exciting half-day session of expert presentations, interactive panel discussions and open dialogue around the personal and public health implications of these challenges.
