Children's HIV Association
(Redirected from CHIVA (charity))
The Children's HIV Association (CHIVA) is a British charity which supports children, young people and families living with HIV.[1]
The charity's aims are:
- Enhance the health and social outcomes for children, young people and families living with HIV
- Reduce the isolation of children and young people living with HIV
- Ensure the voices of children, young people and families living with HIV are present in service and practice development
- Reduce the stigma faced by children, young people and families living with HIV
- Facilitate knowledge about HIV and thus empower young people with HIV to become more independent.
In 2008 it worked with the British Medical Association to publish a joint set of guidelines for the management of HIV in pregnant women.[2]
It was one of the seven charities nominated by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to receive donations in lieu of wedding presents when the couple married on 19 May 2018.[3][4]
