New Horizons Disclosure of HIV Status Toolkit for Pediatric and Adolescent Populations
This toolkit was developed by the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) with funding from a consulting agreement with Johnson & Johnson, in support of the New Horizons Advancing Pediatric HIV Care Collaborative.
The Disclosure of HIV Status Toolkit for Pediatric and Adolescent Populations provides general guidance on disclosure of HIV status in pediatric and adolescent HIV care. This document contains tools for use in clinical practice to build the capacity of health care workers, caregivers, and pediatric and adolescent patients themselves—in assisting with and delivering successful and informed disclosure. It is primarily targeted for use among health care workers.
Specific modules support:
- Health care workers or caregivers to disclose an HIV status to a child or adolescent.
- Horizontally-infected adolescents to disclose their status to their caregivers.
- Adolescents to disclose to their social networks, community, and romantic partners.
