Keynote presentation discusses how pediatric nonhuman primate models advance HIV understanding and treatment in infants, highlighting critical implications for future research.
Despite extraordinary global progress in the prevention and treatment of HIV, pediatric HIV remains a significant and under‐addressed component of the global epidemic. In her keynote presentation at the Pediatric Nonhuman Primate (NHP) Workshop in October 2024, Dr. Ann Chahroudi delivered a comprehensive and compelling argument for the essential role of pediatric NHP models in translational HIV research. Her talk (summarized below) provided a detailed overview of how infant monkeys have contributed uniquely to our understanding of HIV pathogenesis, immune development, and therapeutic strategies in early life—and why continued investment in these models is critical for advancing pediatric HIV prevention, treatment, and cure.
