Antiretroviral Therapy in Children TIM NIEHUES Characteristics of HIV infection in childhood In 2014, the UNAIDS report estimated that worldwide 2. Children are usually infected through perinatal transmission (vertical infection). In most cases (75–90%) HIV is transmitted peri- or intrapartum. Only a small propor- tion of children are infected in utero (10–25%). Transmission by breastfeeding is more common in resource-limited settings, but plays a minor role in developed countries, where breastfeeding by HIV+ mothers is strongly discouraged. The increasing knowl- edge about how HIV is vertically transmitted has led to highly effective interven- tions to prevent transmission and a significant reduction of the transmission rate to less than 2%. New infections in HIV-exposed children still occur • if the HIV status of the mother is unknown • if transmission prophylaxis is incomplete • if the mother does not have access to transmission prophylaxis during pregnancy. Without ART there is a rapid progression of the HIV infection with AIDS-defining symptoms and potentially lethal complications in a significant percentage of infants (10–25%). In the remaining children there is a much slower disease course with a mean duration of more than 8 years until AIDS-defining symptoms occur. The reason for this bimodal disease course is unclear, but the high mortality in infants (<1 year of age) has influenced the ART guidelines which strongly recommend to aggressively treat all HIV+ infants once they are diagnosed. Viral dynamics in children are significantly different from the rapid increase and decrease of viral load seen in untreated adults within a few months of acute HIV infection.
