 AB    Treatment for HIV infection and preventive methods for HIV-associated
       infections are now routinely available and recommended for the
       management of HIV-infected children. These strategies have been
       associated with improvement in the quality and duration of life for
       HIV-infected adults and children. The institution of these interventions
       is dependent on recognition of infants at risk for infection (born to
       mothers with HIV infection), early diagnosis of HIV infection in infants
       and young children, and careful clinical and immunologic monitoring. As
       with other chronic illnesses, management of HIV-infected children should
       be comprehensive and should involve the active participation of both the
       primary pediatrician and the HIV specialist. Optimization of
       interventional strategies is dependent on ongoing and planned clinical
       trials.
