title: Short- and long-term immunological and virological outcome in HIV-infected infants according to the age at antiretroviral treatment initiation.
abstract: The clinical benefit of antiretroviral therapy in infants is established. In this cohort collaboration, we compare immunological and virological response to treatment started before or after 3 months of age. Early initiation provides a better short-term response, although evolution after 12 months of age is similar in both groups.
