Children's HIV Association

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]
