Special Immunology Service at CHOP provides care to infants and children exposed to HIV or infected with HIV at birth. We care for the whole child, which includes:

  • Primary medical care and HIV specialized care
  • Psychosocial care that addresses social and emotional issues, helps with coping and improves quality of life
  • Physical and cognitive growth and development services, such as developmental testing and nutritional counseling
  • Research toward the prevention of and the effective medical treatment for HIV infection

Through a contract with the Presbyterian Medical Center, HIV-infected caregivers of pediatric patients can receive on-site adult care. Our caring team will be by your family's side every step of the way.
