FASTER Priority Actions.

	PA 1: Streamline Regulatory Approvals	Support governments and regulators to streamline processes for approvals of new HIV diagnostics and drugs for children and adolescents.
	PA 2: Integrate Public Sector & FBO Service Delivery	Facilitate interoperability of government-based and faith-based processes for healthcare delivery, commodity procurement, record keeping, and results reporting to enhance efforts and resources for pediatric and adolescent HIV testing and treatment outcomes.
	PA 3: Expand Diagnostic Platforms	Strengthen and expand the rational uptake of point of care (POC) and other diagnostic platforms that improve outcomes for timely HIV and TB diagnoses, especially in infants and children, and use standardized comprehensive pricing and strong service agreements.
	PA 4: Evaluate Novel HIV Testing Approaches	Implement and evaluate novel HIV testing approaches, such as oral mucosa testing of children by parents/caretakers, to improve pediatric case-finding, especially linked to index testing services for adults living with HIV, faith-based programs supporting orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), and other community settings.
	PA 5: Implement Validated HIV Risk Screening Tools	Develop, validate, operationalize, and evaluate HIV risk screening tools to strategically identify children and adolescents in need of HIV testing in outpatient departments, faith-based OVC programs, and other community settings.
	PA 6: Optimize pediatric ART Regimens	Accelerate scale-up and transition to optimal pediatric and adolescent antiretroviral treatment (ART) regimens, working with communities to guide HIV response through generating demand and improving HIV literacy, monitoring the introduction of optimal treatment, and training frontline healthcare workers on the use of optimized HIV treatment regimens for C/ALHIV.
