AIDS in children with hemophilia.
In summary: We have presented 1) data which supports the observation that the progression of immune impairment to AIDS in HIV infected children, adolescents and young adults is significantly slower than in the older adult. 2) Preliminary data suggesting that a relationship may exist between somatic growth and development and the presence of HIV in children and adolescents exposed to long term HIV.
