Abstract
HIV continues to disproportionately affect children and adolescents, with only about 1 million of the 1.7 million infected children aged 0–14 receiving treatment. Without ART, most infants die before age five. Individualized case planning has improved adherence in viremic children, increasing doses taken from 62% to 86% and enhancing viral suppression. Tailored counseling and support have shown higher adherence (89.7% vs 80.6%) and better viral outcomes, emphasizing the need for personalized interventions in resource-limited settings.
