Are children of key population individuals at higher risk of HIV than other children? Results from a multi-country analysis of routine program data
KP-focused programs have often excluded children, but the case-finding approaches in the project's KP programs were effective in reaching CKP. Comprehensive, family-centered KP programming is needed that includes family planning, prevention of vertical transmission, early infant diagnosis, and other maternal and child health services to reduce the impact of HIV on families and achieve an HIV-free generation.
