Abstract: | Forty years ago, the first adult HIV cases were published, with infant cases following within a year [1]. As a few of these then‐babies approach their 40th birthdays, both their growth and science’s growth tell dramatic stories. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) transformed HIV from a deadly infection into a chronic disease. Just as miraculous, an AIDS‐free generation became imaginable, using ART to prevent >95% of perinatal transmission. While these advances in HIV prevention and treatment deserve celebration, attention should be devoted to remaining hurdles – such as behavioural, social viral suppression and drug resistance challenges – that must still be overcome to ensure successful life‐long outcomes for the global population of children and adolescents who have grown up with HIV (CAWH) |
