We compared MMD coverage (primary objective), and optimized regimen coverage, community-based ART group enrollment, VL testing coverage, and VLS (secondary objectives), among CALHIV 18 years and younger pre-/post-intervention (baseline/endline) at the 36 facilities. We present change in MMD, viral load (VL) testing coverage, VLS, optimized regimen coverage, and community-based ART group enrollment among CALHIV from the October-December 2019 quarter (baseline) to January-March 2021 (endline) based on retrospective analysis of routinely collected program data.

SIDHAS provided technical assistance to 36 "high-volume" facilities-≥5 CALHIV on treatment-in Akwa Ibom and Cross River to increase MMD and viral load suppression (VLS) among CALHIV, toward PEPFAR's 80% benchmark for people currently on ART. In March 2020, during COVID-19, the government expanded MMD eligibility to include children and recommended rapid implementation to minimize clinic visits.

At the end of the October-December 2019 quarter, only 23% of CALHIV receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) through SIDHAS project sites in Akwa Ibom and Cross River states, Nigeria, were receiving MMD. The child's agency will take a commission from the earnings, which will be around 20%.Multimonth dispensing (MMD) enables less frequent clinic visits and improved outcomes for people living with HIV, but few children and adolescents living with HIV (CALHIV) are on MMD. Advertisement work, on the other hand, can pay out between $1,000 and $1,200 for a day's work. The amount that a child can earn is based upon the type of work they are contracted to carry out.Ī photo shoot for a magazine article will generally pay around $70 per hour.

It is also possible to land jobs by contacting modeling agencies directly. This usually happens through referrals by people already involved in modeling. For prospective models, the challenge is to land the first job. In practice, most modeling jobs go to children who have already worked as models and have developed a working relationship with a modeling agency. The visible success of child models who became media celebrities has led numerous children (and their parents) to pursue modeling as a part-time career. More recently Australian child model Morgan Featherstone has achieved worldwide success but has also attracted criticism due to her looking older than her age. Falk, like Shields, moved from modeling to movies as she became older. Both models appeared in the 1977 Sears and Montgomery Ward catalogs. Falk, like Shields, was a relatively successful child model who posed for magazine covers, notably Seventeen, for editorial fashion layouts, and for advertising in magazines and mail-order catalogs. The book, Lisanne: A Young Model, described the life of Lisanne Falk, a colleague of Brooke Shields at the Ford modeling agency in the late 1970s. Many young actresses and actors, notably, Naomi Campbell, Jennifer Connelly, Katherine Heigl, Jessica Alba, Ashley Benson, Lindsay Lohan, Naya Rivera, Zendaya, Bella Thorne, Miranda Cosgrove, Hayley Kiyoko, Liv Tyler, Brooke Shields, Taylor Momsen, Peyton List, Gigi Hadid, Yara Shahidi, Maddie Ziegler, Skai Jackson, Anastasia Bezrukova and Isabella Cramp began as child models. Child modeling has become a distinct activity because of the explosion of commercial media over the past several decades. Child models are used for a wide variety of commercial purposes, often because they evoke a sense of innocence or vulnerability.Ī child model refers to a child who is employed to display, advertise and promote commercial products or to serve as a subject of works of art, such as photography, painting and sculpture.Īrtists have used children as models for countless works over the centuries.
