🧵1/3 The SUPPORT project that has officially recruited 100 children into the SUPPORT 1 clinical study! For hospitalised children living with HIV, the greatest risk isn't always the hospital stay, it’s the weeks after they return home.

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 🩹⚕️

On World AIDS Day, I want to highlight @Denise Naniche’s powerful reflection: there is still time to get it right, but only if we choose to finish what we started.✊🎗️ www.isglobal.org/en/healthisg... @isglobal.bsky.social @isglobal.org
