Keywords: toolkits,children,antiretroviral therapy (ART),HIV treatment guidelines

In April 2008, the World Health Organization (WHO) Technical Reference Group for Paediatric HIV/Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) and Care released a series of nine updated recommendations for diagnostic testing, initiation of treatment, and appropriate treatment regimens for HIV-exposed and -infected infants. These guidelines were updated again in 2010.

The Pediatric HIV Treatment Toolkit outlines the changes to the guidelines and provides tools, resources, and training to assist in:

  • Managing pediatric HIV care and treatment services
  • Updating programs or sites to meet the latest WHO and national treatment guidelines
