Abstract Despite significant gains in the past 10 years in the treatment and care of children and adolescents with HIV infection, there is still need for advocacy for this group. The author discusses how far we have come and the need for on‐going efforts, not only for appropriate child‐friendly drug formulations, but also for cooperation between quantitative and qualitative scientists to further the existing knowledge base of how best to help these children with a chronic disease.
