What are the Challenges in Managing Pediatric HIV?
Managing HIV in children presents several challenges: 1. Adherence to ART: Ensuring that children consistently take their medications can be difficult. 2. Developmental and Behavioral Issues: HIV can impact a child's development, necessitating additional support and interventions. 3. Stigma and Discrimination: Families affected by HIV may face social stigma, which can hinder access to care and support. 4. Complexity of Care: Managing HIV often requires a multidisciplinary approach involving pediatricians, infectious disease specialists, and other healthcare providers.
