In April, the CORE Group's HIV/AIDS Working Group held a one day state-of-the-art (SOTA) update on pediatric HIV care, generating dialogue and exchange between the HIV/AIDS and child survival communities. Key topics covered included: essential care for HIV-exposed and infected infants; missed opportunities for identifying children and for providing care; models for delivering family centered care approaches; promising approaches to early infant diagnosis; HIV testing in children; nutrition and pediatric AIDS; age specific needs and considerations for HIV care and treatment.

The Working Group also hosted several technical updates and presentations, including: Building effective partnerships for HIV-MCH programming and Harnessing the Power of new HIV Positive Mothers as 'Mentor Mothers.'
