The 8th Workshop on Children and Adolescents with Perinatal HIV Exposure builds on 7 years of workshops focused on the health and wellbeing of the over 15 million children and adolescents who did not acquire HIV despite being born to women living with HIV. Optimal childhood neurodevelopment has significant implications for the child's life trajectory. This year's workshop will present up-to-date evidence of child neurodevelopmental outcomes following perinatal HIV exposure. The workshop attracts researchers, clinicians, programme implementers, policymakers and advocates and continues to be a catalyst for shaping research agendas and health policies to support this population of children and adolescents to reach their fullest human potential. Objectives: Share recent evidence on and discuss optimal methods to evaluate neurodevelopmental outcomes in HIV high prevalence setting. Convene actors positioned to inform strategic plans to optimize outcomes in this population.
