- 01 Feb 2006 - 
TL;DR: Generally parents of HIV-infected children 6 months to 4 years and 5 to 11 years of age generally reported lower mean QoL scores than did parents of uninfected children, although worse psychological functioning was reported for unin infected children, and no consistent QOL differences among children receiving different antiretroviral regimens.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparative study of human immunodeficiency virus culture, polymerase chain reaction and anti-human immunodeficiency virus immunoglobulin a antibody detection in the diagnosis during early infancy of vertically acquired human immunodeficiency virus infection

TL;DR: Culture and PCR detection offer excellent sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of HIV infection during the first 6 months of life; however, false-negative HIV cultures sometimes are observed, particularly during the newborn period, and either false negative or false positive PCR test results may be noted occasionally.

Antiretroviral Drug Resistance Among Children and Youth in the United States With Perinatal HIV

TL;DR: Among 234 US youths with perinatal human immunodeficiency virus, 75% had antiretroviral resistance, substantially higher than that of the reference laboratory overall and the only factor independently associated with future resistance was a higher peak viral load.
