Neurodevelopment of children who are HIV-exposed and uninfected in Kenya

CONCLUSIONS: Biologic and social factors were associated with child neurodevelopment. Despite socio-demographic differences between CHEU and CHUU, 1-year neurodevelopment was similar. Addressing IPV and food insecurity may provide benefits regardless of maternal HIV status. DTG use was associated with higher neurodevelopmental scores in CHEU, compared to EFV regimens, potentially contributing to a lack of neurodevelopmental difference between CHEU and CHUU.PMID:37909174 | PMC:PMC10618871 | DOI:10.1002/jia2.26149
