Abstract

Although there is optimism that with the prospective identification and treatment of HIV-1-infected pregnant women the incidence of pediatric infection can be diminished, currently the number of HIV-1-infected children continues to rise. Improvements in early diagnosis provide the potential for early intervention, and the advent of more potent antiretroviral agents provides the hope of better treatment strategies to slow disease progression in HIV-1-infected children.
