Plenary: Paediatric HIV: We are not done yet! Such progress has been made in the prevention of HIV in children, yet many of them continue to acquire HIV and die as a result of delayed diagnosis and suboptimal treatment. Urgent action is required in countries to address persistent gaps. New technologies to diagnose HIV at the point of care, very early treatment, novel therapeutics and more comprehensive packages of care hold the promise of securing an AIDS-free future for children. However, only by enhancing and tailoring paediatric HIV services through robust operational research, political will and by placing children and families at the center of our response, can we end AIDS in this vulnerable population.
