This study follows children with HIV who received early treatment to learn more about their health over time. Early treatment means they started taking at least three anti-HIV medicines (called ARV agents) within 12 weeks after birth. The study lasts for about seven years and involves 250 children who will have check-ups twice a year. During these visits, doctors will check the children's health and collect samples for future research.
To join, children must have been part of an earlier study, have confirmed HIV, and started early treatment. Parents or guardians must agree to the study and expect the child to be available for follow-up for at least two years. Kids can join if they don't have any serious health problems that could make the study unsafe.
- Commitment: Participation requires follow-ups every six months for seven years.
