Early detection of HIV infection in infants and children
Originally published on October 2, 2024 Posted on October 12, 2018
Because of the high risk of death before the age of 2 years among HIV-infected infants, and given
the increasing availability of paediatric antiretroviral treatment in many resource-limited settings,
WHO recommends that national programmes should establish the capacity to provide early
virological testing of infants for HIV.
