“…This organization provides an eight-week psychosocial support intervention twice a year for children and youth LWAH; program facilitators and counsellors use activitybased group therapy, and separate groups based on the disclosure status and age of youth. 73 The findings suggest that this approach provided opportunities for youth to connect with their peers in a safe environment and to discuss dimensions of living with HIV, including their fears, experiences of stigma, and interpersonal relationships. 74…”

The conditions that drive vulnerability to HIV infection for young people in Ontario also limit access to resources and result in poorer health outcomes for youth living with and affected by HIV. Synthesized literature that addresses the ways in which the social determinants of health intersect and influence the experiences of youth living with and affected by HIV is limited. This Research to Practice report contextualizes the current demographics and experiences of young people in Ontario, and highlights critical frameworks, interventions, and program features to support working with youth living with and affected by HIV. Furthermore, it recommends evidencebased best practices and strategies, using a critical, antioppressive lens, for youth workers, youth-serving organizations, and frontline staff across Ontario's youth sector to improve wellbeing for youth living with and affected by HIV.

Disability and Rehabilitation

Research in this area is limited. More rehabilitation research is needed especially in areas where the burden of the disease is highest and for those children receiving ART. Implications for Rehabilitation Many low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) struggle with an undersupply of trained rehabilitation professionals. Due to the large number of children living with HIV in LMICs, and as more continue to receive life-saving treatment, the need will grow for more rehabilitation professionals to work with this population to address HIV-related disability. This scoping review indicates that there is a dearth of research on interventions provided by allied health professionals, including physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech language pathologists for children living with HIV. There is a moderate literature base supporting the use of alternative and complementary therapies for children living with HIV.
