Abstract	Reports indicate advancement in the fight against HIV infection. However, the rate of new infections among children, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, remains high. Research findings highlight the benefits of HIV status disclosure to children. Yet, there is limited research concerning the ways counsellors navigate the disclosure process. The purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of counsellors regarding status disclosure to children living with HIV in Uganda. Qualitative research methods guided the individual interviews with 10 counsellors from three HIV care centres. Findings indicated four overarching themes including: counsellors' roles and responsibilities, impact of age in the disclosure process, motivations for disclosure, and challenges and barriers. Study results highlight the critical role played by counsellors and the need for clear paediatric disclosure guidelines. (As Provided).
