Does exposure to antiretroviral therapy affect growth in the first 18 months of life in uninfected children born to HIV-infected women?
Article Abstract:
An investigation is made to analyze whether there are differences in growth between HAART-exposed and nonexposed premature uninfected children and between HAART-exposed and no exposed term uninfected children born to HIV-infected women. The results show that uninfected children born prematurely and exposed to combination therapy generally reach a given centile for weight earlier than those in the same gestational age category who have not been exposed.

Mortality in patients with successful initial response to highly active antiretroviral therapy is still higher than in non-HIV-infected individuals
Article Abstract:
Progression to death in a population of 3678 antitiretroviral treatment-naive patients from the ATHENA national observational cohort from 24 weeks after the start of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) were analyzed. Mortality in HIV-infected patients with good initial response to HAART was found to be higher than in the general population.
