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.
