This toolkit was developed in response to an identified need by health care providers to have practical, abbreviated guidance on the process of disclosing an HIV-positive status with pediatric and adolescent populations, their caregivers, partners, and other relevant parties. It aims to complement existing national and global guidelines and to serve as an easily accessible reference within health care facilities. 

The objective of this toolkit is to provide general guidance on disclosure of HIV status in the settings of pediatric and adolescent HIV care. This document contain tools for use in clinical practice to build the capacity of different parties—including health care workers (HCWs), caregivers, and pediatric and adolescent patients themselves—in assisting with and delivering successful and informed disclosure. Available in French and Portuguese from EGPAF. 

This toolkit is primarily for HCWs working with pediatric and adolescent populations living with HIV.
