A diagnosis of HIV impacts an entire family, infected and affected alike. The best possible health outcomes for all are accomplished by treating the family as a unit providing treatment and care in the context of knowledge of all family members’ HIV status, counseling for prevention for discordant couples, support for disclosure, and ongoing education for all family members. This continuity of care helps ensure that the needs of all family members are addressed.

HIV/AIDS is a preventable disease. To end the suffering of HIV impacted children and their families, prevention is the key: preventing those already HIV positive from transmitting it to an uninfected partner or from a mother to a child; teaching uninfected youth how to remain HIV free; working with public and private sector leaders to implement policies that promote the notion for all that “HIV ends with me”.
