Road to Vienna: Advancing family-centred services for children affected by HIV and AIDS
The Road to Vienna aims to address and energise the idea of family-centred services for children affected by HIV and AIDS. Two to three small meetings are envisaged, culminating in a symposium or satellite at the International AIDS Society (IAS) Conference in Vienna in July 2010, as well as a session at the CCABA pre-conference symposium.
The meetings will have core participants, as well as participants specific to one of the three meetings. In addition to a CCABA Symposium and IAS Conference presentations, the initiative will also produce an integrated report on Family-Centred Approaches to Children Affected by HIV and AIDS. We are working on a special journal issue containing the papers presented at the meetings. A call for paper proposals will be posted in the near future, calling for submissions on work with children and families of especially marginalised people living with HIV or AIDS.
