ABSTRACT

This study determined the prevalence of reactive HIV serology at 12 months of age in infants exposed to HIV in utero. Of the 80 patients analyzed, 50 (63.3%) were anti-HIV reactive. This study suggests that it is probably not helpful to perform HIV antibody testing in HIV-exposed non-breastfed infants who have met virologic criteria to exclude HIV infection in the first year of life.
