To create this Shiny app, we identified several systematic reviews of pediatric HIV disclosure studies [1–7], conducted a supplemental search of the peer reviewed literature, and extracted 52 reported estimates of pediatric HIV disclosure prevalence from the collection of reviews and single studies. When possible, we also derived estimates of HIV disclosure for specific age groups using information reported in the articles (21 additional estimates).
