Today, with Chiva, we are delighted to launch a new set of resources about HIV medication for children and young people living with HIV. People who live with HIV usually take medication every day. However, taking daily medication can be difficult and young people often need support. That's why we worked with Chiva, as well as a group of young people living with HIV and health experts to produce these new resources. Find them all on the Chiva website and on the aidsmap website: https://bit.ly/3VeUDAk
