Dr Edith Majonga receives prestigious International Investigator’s Award

We are delighted to congratulate Dr. Edith Majonga on receiving the prestigious International Investigator’s Award, which enabled her to attend the 32nd Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2025) held in San Francisco, USA, from March 9–12.

At the conference, Dr. Majonga presented key findings from the Cardiac Outcomes in adolescents with perinatal HIV (CORD) study, which investigated myocardial disease in adolescents with perinatal HIV (PHIV) using advanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The study found evidence of subclinical myocardial injury, with reduced cardiac function and elevated ST2 (a cardiac stress biomarker) among adolescents who were not virally suppressed. These findings have significant implications for long-term care as adolescents with PHIV transition into adulthood.
