How effective is antiretroviral treatment for children with HIV?

How effective is antiretroviral treatment for children with HIV?

The most effective treatment for children with HIV is antiretroviral therapy. This requires several antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) be taken every day.

Antiretroviral treatment reduces illness and mortality among children living with HIV in much the same way that it does among adults. In one study in Brazil, three-quarters of HIV-positive children receiving ART were alive after a four-year follow-up period.4 Positive outcomes have also been seen in paediatric ART programmes in Thailand, Kenya, and Ukraine.5 6 7 A study released in 2007, which monitored 586 HIV-positive children receiving antiretroviral treatment in 14 countries in Africa and Asia, found that 82% were still alive after two years.8

Some of the most compelling evidence that treatment works in children does not come from studies or statistics, but rather the stories of those who have witnessed HIV-positive children returning to health after starting treatment:
