What is Early HIV Diagnosis and Treatment for Kids about?
Early diagnosis and treatment of HIV in children is improving but many children still start antiretroviral therapy (ART) late, when they are severely immunodeficient. Starting ART earlier reduces mortality risk. The number of children receiving ART has increased significantly between 2005 and 2007 but most of the burden is in sub-Saharan Africa. Revised WHO recommendations emphasize earlier diagnosis and treatment to improve outcomes for HIV-positive children.
