The HHS Panel on Antiretroviral Therapy and Medical Management of Children Living with HIV (or the Panel) is accepting nominations for new scientific/clinical members with expertise in HIV medicine. The Panel is seeking candidates with expertise in:

  • children with HIV transitioning into adolescence and young adulthood.

Panel members critically evaluate new information and prepare guidelines revisions. The candidates should be recognized experts in their areas of interest. The successful candidates will serve a 3-year term beginning April 2022, with potential for reappointment for an additional term.

The Panel is a Working Group of the Office of AIDS Research Advisory Council of the National Institutes of Health. The Panel is composed of approximately 30 members who are clinicians, researchers, academicians, HHS representatives, and community representatives with expertise in HIV management in the United States. The Panel meets monthly via teleconferencing to review and critically evaluate emerging scientific data relating to antiretroviral therapy in children and revise the Guidelines for Use of Antiretroviral Agents in Pediatric HIV Infection, which are found at https://clinicalinfo.hiv.gov/en.
