This is one of a set of HIV paediatric films made by parter organisation Picturing Health. These interactive training films are designed to copy the way clinicians learn in real life. They follow children over time, recording clinic visits or admissions to hospital, stopping to ask questions whenever treatment decisions need to be made. Suggested answers are contained in the accompanying notes.
