- Early antiretroviral therapy (ART) significantly impacts the progression and survival of children with perinatal HIV infection, with those receiving treatment showing better outcomes.
- In a study of 205 HIV-infected children in Northern California, untreated children were more likely to progress to severe disease categories compared to those who received ART, highlighting the importance of early intervention.
- The findings indicate that more recent birth years and advanced ART correlates with improved survival rates, suggesting that timely treatment can greatly benefit young HIV patients.
