Pediatric HIV/AIDS Care

Pediatric HIV/AIDS care focuses on the health and well-being of children infected with HIV, the virus that can lead to AIDS. This care involves regular medical check-ups, antiviral medications to help control the virus, and support for both physical and emotional needs. It also includes education for families about managing the condition, preventing transmission, and fostering a healthy lifestyle. With appropriate treatment and support, many children with HIV can lead healthy, active lives. The goal is to help these children thrive and reduce the risk of complications associated with the virus.
