Rates of Hospitalization and Infection-Related Hospitalization Among Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)–Exposed Uninfected Children Compared to HIV-Unexposed Uninfected Children in the United States, 2007–2016

Abstract

Compared with HUU, HEU children in the United States have higher rates of hospitalization and infection-related hospitalization in the first 2 years of life, consistent with studies in other countries. Closer monitoring of HEU infants for infection and further elucidation of immune mechanisms is needed.
