The program will support the expansion of comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment services to HIV-infected children and their families and provide pediatric HIV training opportunities for clinical and ancillary health professionals. Comprehensive HIV services will include antiretroviral therapy (ART); adherence counseling, TB screening and treatment; diagnosis and treatment of opportunistic infections (OI); provision of basic preventive care package (BCP); confidential HIV counseling and testing; family support interventions including prevention with positives and discordant couple counseling for parents; family psycho-social support; and related interventions for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC).

Following national pediatric treatment guidelines and strategies, in FY07 program initiatives will continue the care and treatment of pediatric and family member patients and expand quality pediatric care to additional clients using a family centered approach to ensure the pediatric patients and their families receive related services and support required for OVCs. Activities to integrate prevention messages into all care and treatment services will be developed for implementation by all staff. Specific interventions to support adolescent care, treatment, adherence, and prevention message will be developed and integrated into clinical and family services. To ensure equitable access to high-quality pediatric HIV services, satellite sites will be established in peri-urban and rural health care facilities.

In support of national services and satellite sites and to ensure full access to high-quality pediatric care and treatment services throughout the country, initiatives to train and mentor doctors, nurses, counselors, and allied health care providers in the public and private sector will be established to support basic preventive palliative care, and antiretroviral provision to children living with HIV/AIDS.

plus ups: It is estimated that an additional 1300 children will be enrolled into active care of which 700 will initiate antiretroviral therapy through this program. Plusup funding for this activity will largely go into procurement of pediatric formulations of ARVs to cater for increased number of children under 5 years initiating ART. this activity will also develop methods to evaluate quality of ARVs services for children.

plus ups: Only 30 out of 220 accredited ART sites provide pediatric services. Challenges include high cost of pediatric ARVs, inadequate skills, and limited resources for diagnosis of HIV in children. This activity will strengthen capacity for pediatric ART scale up to 12 sites in 4 rural districts. The program will conduct training for capacity building in ART delivery through didactic methods, clinical attachment, mentoring and support supervision to reach 200 health care providers. It is estimated that an additional 1300 children will be enrolled into active care of which 700 will initiate antiretroviral therapy through this program. The program will work closely with the PMTCT program and the national early infant diagnosis to identify HIV infected children.
