Useful resources:
CHIVA website
CHIVA provides information, guidance and support for professionals, parents and young people living with HIV and runs an annual support camp for HIV positive young people.
CHIPS – Collaborative HIV Paediatric Study
Aims to enhance the exchange of information and expertise between centres in order to promote standardised and high quality paediatrician-led care of all HIV-infected children in the UK and Ireland.
All CHIPS publications are here: http://www.chipscohort.ac.uk/publications/
PENTA
The PENTA-ID Network brings together key stakeholders in paediatric infectious disease, including researchers, clinicians, regulatory bodies, the pharmaceutical industry and patients and their families, to plan and carry out high quality clinical research and training.
Financial support
The UK-CAB receives unrestricted funding from some pharmaceutical companies towards the direct costs of holding four meetings each year. This funding supports the travel and accommodation costs for members to attend from outside London, plus the cost of catering.
The content, programme and agenda for meetings is decided by the UK-CAB steering group in consultation with the wider membership. Funding is unconnected to meeting content.
We believe that manufacturers who currently develop and market medicines have a responsibility to actively engage with advocacy organisations and that HIV positive people and their advocates should be able to directly question manufacturers about the safety and efficacy of their products and proposals for future research.
For a list of companies that support the UK-CAB please see the “about us” page.
