Abstract
OBJECTIVE. Few studies have investigated the efficacy of antiretroviral therapy among HIV-infected children in resource-poor settings. This observational, retrospective analysis describes the clinical, immunologic, and virologic effects of highly active antiretroviral therapy in treatment-naive, HIV-infected children in Mombasa, Kenya. In keeping with a public health approach, all children were treated by using a simplified, nationally approved, triple-drug regimen.Keywords
