Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Helen Dale's recent research has made significant contributions to the field of HIV treatment and prevention, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Through qualitative assessments and implementation experiences, Dale has highlighted the importance of community-based point-of-care early infant diagnosis (EID) and its potential to improve access to HIV testing and care for infants and their families. Her work also emphasizes the need for a more comprehensive approach to HIV-exposed infants, including beyond EID strategies. Furthermore, Dale's research has underscored the critical role of health systems in addressing the unique needs of women and children living with HIV.
