Lung function tracking in children with perinatally acquired HIV following early antiretroviral therapy initiation

Our study indicates that early ART initiation can mitigate the loss of lung function in CHIV with lasting benefit through childhood; however, there remains concern of small airway disease. CHEU does not appear to disrupt childhood lung function trajectory.
