Early diagnosis and prompt antiretroviral therapy initiation are critical for children due to the rapid progression of HIV in infants, explains Priscilla Tsondai, MD, MPH, and unlike adults they require age-appropriate formulations, caregiver support, and strategies to ensure adherence.

To reduce care disparities and prevent them from exacerbating among people living with HIV who have long COVID, education and user-friendly diagnostic methods are key.

This research investigated averted hospitalizations in Oregon and Washington, which had greater than 75% uptake of at least 1 dose of an mRNA-based COVID vaccine.

This research on a T-cell–targeting vaccine in HIV has implications for future study design to incorporate consideration of age and years on antiretroviral therapy (ART) to evaluate the level of immune reconstitution.
