Child+...

 


This article is about HIV in children.  I think the best way to start is to just state.

Children infected with HIV are significantly more likely to do worse in neurological assessments despite having well-controlled HIV disease, according to new research.

This meaning children living with even well controlled HIV are more likely to  face  neurological, cognitive & psychiatric issues.  This could present as physical limitations, learning difficulties, or mental disorders.  At this time, researchers are trying to understand the severity of the issue.   Why is it happening, can it be avoided, can it be treated?

So far, the research only points to this being a phenomenon that is occuring.  More research is needed for any further understanding of the issue.  Some are fond of saying that HIV is no longer a death sentence.  Maybe not, but certainly isn't a life as we knew virus either.
