Asymptomatic HIV babies could use earlier treatment

compared the outcomes in the first two groups, they found that any type of antiretroviral therapy delayed disease progression and enhanced survival.

“We’ve clearly shown that early treatment of asymptomatic infants—no matter what it is—makes a big difference in preventing or delaying the progression of the disease,?said Maldonado. “Now we have to move forward to figure out if this treatment is going to be appropriate for everyone.?/p>

Clinical trials are needed to determine if every infected newborn should be treated or if some subsets of infants will benefit more than others, Maldonado explained. In the meantime, the findings emphasize the importance of testing pregnant women for HIV and watching for signs of infection in the newborns of women who have tested positive for HIV.

The study was supported by funding from the Office of AIDS at the California Department of Health Services. Researchers from 10 institutions participated in the study, including Maldonado and three others from Stanford’s Department of Pediatrics.
