HIV

Infants born with HIV who remain undiagnosed are vulnerable to disease progression during the first 1–2 years of life, including opportunistic infections and encephalopathy. Because of advances in HIV care and treatment, an AIDS diagnosis (Stage 3 HIV diagnosis) among children born with HIV is highly uncommon, particularly among infants born after the use of antiretroviral therapy became routine.
