Abstract

After one year of antiretroviral treatment in 49 HIV-infected children compared to 53 children without, weight for age improved significantly and was highly correlated with baseline immune status and CD4% increase but height for age did not change. Stunting is a common feature of pediatric HIV, both on and off HAART.
