Outcomes of HIV-infected orphaned and non-orphaned children on antiretroviral therapy in western Kenya
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to determine outcome differences between orphaned and non-orphaned children receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). Orphan status was not associated with worse short-term outcomes but might be a factor for long-term therapy response and HIV-positive children did not overcome developmental lags present before initiation of therapy, suggesting that ART might be only partially able to reverse significant developmental lags in the HIV-positive pediatric population.
