Day 1 ✔️ #ENABLE project kicks-off today to prepare our clinical trial using #bNAbs to treat infants living with #HIV 👶🏽💙 Such a good start—strong ideas, great people, big goals 🚀 @globalhealthedctp3.bsky.social #EDCTP3

🔊 Last week, our colleage Cinta Moraleda presented the study #EMPIRICAL at the XXVI Workshops on the Prevention and Treatment of #HIV Infection in Newborns and Children of the National Pediatric Cohort (CoRISpe) 🏥

We hope that our research inspires the work of others!

Today on #WorldAIDSDay, we continue the fight against paediatric & advanced #HIV ⛑️

Through our projects SUPPORT, EMPIRICAL, THRIVE & ENABLE —training African researchers, improving severe-pneumonia care, expanding AHD services, and testing bNAbs for viral suppression— we aim for a better future 🩹⚕️

Meet Cheelo Mwiinga, a SUPPORT fellow.

Her work focuses on how prolonged respiratory infections affect the survival of children with HIV after a hospital stay.

Did you know children with HIV can carry viruses like RSV for longer?

Understanding this could be a game-changer!
