GoTo Telemed Launches Pediatric HIV Management Program

EntSun News/11091939
KALISPELL, Mont. - EntSun -- GoTo Telemed, a nationwide integrated telehealth ecosystem, today announced the launch of its Pediatric HIV Management Program. This virtual care initiative offers remote medical consultations, antiretroviral therapy (ART) monitoring, and adherence support for children and adolescents living with HIV, helping to close critical gaps in care for this vulnerable population.

Globally, approximately 1.7 million children aged 0–14 years are living with HIV, and every year an estimated 120,000 children are newly infected. Access to pediatric infectious disease specialists remains severely limited, leading to fragmented care, medication adherence challenges, and delays in viral suppression. GoTo Telemed's program is designed to address these barriers, ensuring that expert pediatric HIV care is accessible to families regardless of their physical location.

Telemedicine Expands Access to Expert Pediatric HIV Care

Studies show that telemedicine is highly effective in managing pediatric HIV. A landmark study in Maharashtra, India, comparing ART centers linked to a telemedicine initiative with those that were not, concluded that overall clinical management of children living with HIV/AIDS (CLHA) was better in ART centers linked with the telemedicine initiative compared with those that were not linked. Another large-scale qualitative study in the same region found that telemedicine was a feasible, acceptable, and desired approach for the care of CLHA, providing essential support to both caregivers and their care providers.

"Our Pediatric HIV Management Program removes geographic barriers, connecting families with pediatric infectious disease specialists and offering compassionate, personalized support through secure video visits and digital tools."

The Pediatric HIV Management Program is available immediately to families nationwide through the GoTo Telemed platform. Patients may self‑refer or be referred by their primary care provider, pediatrician, or health department.
