Report of the Paediatric HIV Consultation

On October 20, 2004, 29 representatives from three countries and more than a dozen international and supranational organizations and hospitals attended the Consultation on Accelerating Support for Paediatric HIV Care, Support and Treatment in Thailand and Neighboring Countries within the Context of the 3 x 5 Initiative.

The meeting was intended to update those working on issues concerning Pediatric HIV/AIDS in the region on progress being made by their colleagues. It also aimed to strengthen communication and cooperation among those working on PMTCT and pediatric HIV/AIDS-related issues in the region through sharing country experiences and technical updates from global experts. Reporting on progress toward reaching the 3 x 5 goals, including increasing access to pediatric antiretroviral treatment, was also a cornerstone of the meeting’s agenda.
