South African children living with HIV on ART: Can we do better?

One would hypothesize that through the modern lens of access to effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) from a young age with successful HIV suppression, outcomes for affected children would look to be very good. Shiau et al inform us that for South African children infected at birth, outcomes are better (certainly than before ART), may even be good (medically) but fall short of being very good. The current study is a report of findings at the exit visit approximately 4 years after enrollment beginning in 2014 of HIV vertically infected children and controls recruited in the same age bands from uninfected siblings, household members, or children attending the same outpatient health services site.
