New paper on JIAS! A multiregional analysis on Growth and CD4 patterns of adolescents living with #HIV, that I had the pleasure to conduct with the #CIPHER collaboration!

[Journal of the IAS @jiasociety]

A global analysis of growth and #CD4 patterns of adolescents living with perinatally acquired #HIV found that growth patterns during adolescence differed substantially by sex and region, while CD4 patterns were similar. Read here: https://t.co/FYvEPbW6ST

We honour the 215 Indigenous children, families, and all those affected by the harmful, lasting impacts of colonization and residential schools in now called Canada.
We must all do our part to remember, learn, support, and take action.

Very pleased to share our work on #FoodInsecurity in youth living in #SouthAfrica !
Such findings may have been worsen by the current COVID-19 crisis. More than ever, nutrition and mental health support are needed for youth in LMICs.

Nearly one in five youth were food insecure in this study. Participants with probable depression were more frequently food insecure.

Members of our intrepid #IeDEA Pediatric Working Group at #HIVPED #CDMX. Great representation in this year’s scientific program!

[IeDEA @iedeaglobal]

Great work by our 4 (!) abstract presenters at #HIVPED today, all speaking about #IeDEA regional and global #adolescent #HIV studies + collaborations.
Our pediatric researchers are helping to fill key evidence gaps for this often neglected group.

In children living with #HIV in #WestAfrica, #growth improved a lot within the first years of ART treatment, especially for the youngest. @IeDEA_WA pWADA study. #LEASP

Brilliant first day of the writing workshop with our amazing @GCRF_TALENT trainees. By the end of the week will have 6 awesome papers on adolescent nutrition in Africa and India. A credit to @MRC_LEU and @UoS_Medicine

[TALENT @GCRF_TALENT]

TALENT are working really hard to write drafts of our qualitative papers this week! What a great example of multidisciplinary team work! @The_MRC @MRC_LEU @unisouthampton @harshac3 @kejaljoshi @touliej @jujesson

#HIVPED, perinatal #adolescents. Julie Jesson, @iedeaglobal (L): high rates of stunting but female height catches up by age 19; males still growing? Patience Nyakato, @iedea_sa (R): viral loads increase each year from age 11 to 14. We need better solutions for #adolescents
