Learning that you are HIV positive at a young age is extremely difficult, but there are treatment options available. Most teens with sexually acquired HIV are in a relatively early stage of infection and are ideal candidates for early intervention that may alter the need to be on lifelong antiretroviral therapy.
Children and adolescents who were infected at birth or via blood products as young children follow a unique clinical course that may differ from that of other adolescents and long-term surviving adults. Your pediatrician can decide what treatment options are best suited to your needs.
