Table 1.
Future priorities for transition research and practice
• | Evidence-based transition models specifically for HIV populations, with a focus on adolescent development care and needs |
• | Longitudinal studies, including registries and/or cohorts of children and youth with HIV to effectively track and monitor physical and mental health outcomes across the lifespan |
• | Adolescent-friendly HIV healthcare services with comprehensive care to incorporate emerging co-morbidities |
• | Broader health system reform and policies to approach HIV care from a dynamic, developmental perspective and to consider social and contextual factors such as stigma, resources and access |
