Update on antiretroviral therapy in paediatrics

Paediatric ART in South Africa has come a long way, from monotherapy, to dual therapy and finally to triple therapy. However, a universally available, well-tolerated, single formulation available from birth to adolescence still eludes us. This micro-lesson will review the latest developments in the treatment of paediatric patients with HIV including the new, simpler and more well-tolerated combinations and formulations for children. 2 CPD point is allocated.
