Late diagnosis of paediatric <scp>HIV</scp> infection in high‐income countries: Lessons from the <scp>HIV</scp> Perinatal Virtual Clinic
Despite access to prevention and screening, late paediatric HIV diagnosis persists in HIC, with severe immunosuppression and missed opportunities for earlier recognition and treatment initiation. Improved implementation of family-based screening, particularly following parental/sibling diagnosis or migration from endemic areas, and education of healthcare providers regarding HIV indicator diseases in children are essential.
