The abstract entitled: ‘Mother and child: HIV acquisition, immunity and new prevention strategies’ (PL02.01) was presented at the HIVR4P Virtual Conference 2021, 28 January 2021.

Questions:

  1. Could you tell us a little about the health burden of HIV infections in children in developing countries? (0:05)
  2. Could you explain the bimodal pattern of HIV-1 prevalence of paediatric HIV infection? (0:48)
  3. What are the advantages of HIV immunisation in early life? (1:39)
  4. Why have so many vaccine approaches failed for HIV? (3:13)
