dc.description.abstractObjectives: As the global access of antiretrovirals for HIV-infected infants improves, so the body of perinatally HIV-infected adolescents (PHIVA) grows. The neurological and physical complications of HIV, both in children and in adults, are well established, however there is a paucity of data pertaining to PHIVA, a group of people who have had a lifetime exposure to the virus and to antiretrovirals. There has been a resounding call for further research in this area, as well as for the development of policies and programmes for this population. The aim of this study is to determine the physical sequelae in PHIVA and to propose a model of care for this population. Methods: Through interviews with PHIVA, the perceived physical challenges will be established. Thereafter a cohort study with age-matched participants will determine if PHIVA have any limitations in fatigue, endurance, motor func‑ tion and muscle strength, body mass index, peripheral neuropathy, level of disability and quality of life. Using these results, a model of care will be proposed through the nominal group technique with both PHIVA and clinicians work‑ ing in HIV and adolescence.
