One of the greatest success stories of the HIV epidemic has been the dramatic reduction in perinatal transmission of HIV to children. This success has been achieved through global public health initiatives to provide HIV antiretroviral treatment to women with HIV. Children who are born HIV-exposed but uninfected (HEU) are the fastest growing HIV-affected population, numbering at over 16 million children globally and ~6,000 in Canada. Data on the health and developmental outcomes of older CHEU are limited but emerging data show that these children are more likely to fall behind their HIV unexposed peers. This event will include presentations from two invited international experts, updates from ongoing research by Canadian researchers, and presentations from young investigators. These presentations will be followed by round table discussion with Community and Knowledge Users. By bringing together International and Canadian experts, Knowledge Users, and Community Representatives we aim to: - Improve knowledge and awareness of the needs and priorities for optimizing health outcomes for children who are HEU - Identify research priorities for children who are HEU in Canada - Identify study opportunities and form new collaborations to facilitate this research Host(s): University Health Network Speakers: Kate Powis Catherine Wedderburn Moderators: Jason Brophy Lena Serghides Participation: Open to all CAHR 2025 attendees. Pre-registration required. Registration: redcap.cheori.org/surveys/?s=HJ4H849YJHPAW847
