title: [The effects of perinatal infection with the HIV virus on the development of adaptive behavior].
abstract: This study examined the development of adaptive functioning in nine HIV-positive and nine HIV-negative children ranging in age from 3 months to 6 years, 11 months. Both groups showed normal development of adaptive behaviour prior to two years of age; after this time the HIV-positive group was impaired in all areas of functioning. The results are discussed in terms of the program needs of the HIV-infected children and their families.
