AB Pediatric human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease parallels other
chronic illnesses in that medical advances are facilitating treatment,
and many children infected early in life are living through school age
and into adolescence. A medical overview of pediatric HIV, a review of
natural history studies, and a recent study of older children provide
the basis for a definition of long-term survivors of pediatric HIV
infection. The noncategorical approach to examining the common
consequences of pediatric chronic illness and a description of unique
aspects of HIV disease provide the framework for a discussion of the
psychosocial and developmental issues for long-term survivors of
pediatric HIV. Clinical case examples from the Children's Hospital AIDS
Program are included. This analysis leads to the conclusion that
long-term survivors of pediatric HIV, with a few exceptions, are in many
ways like their peers with other chronic illness.
