Abstract

HIV infection has been a major cause of morbidity and mortality since the first cases of AIDS among children were reported in 1982 in the United States. Considerable advances, especially in the past 5 years, in the understanding of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and prevention of HIV infection in children have changed the rate of pediatric HIV infection in the United States. Efforts to maximally decrease perinatal HIV transmission in the United States are ongoing. Physicians must try to prevent HIV infection among women, especially adolescents.

摘要

自1982年美国首次报告儿童艾滋病病例以来，HIV感染一直是发病和死亡的主要原因。在儿童HIV感染的发病机制、诊断、治疗、监测和预防方面，尤其是在过去5年里取得了相当大的进展，这改变了美国儿童HIV感染的发生率。美国正在努力最大限度地减少围产期HIV传播。医生必须努力预防妇女，尤其是青少年感染HIV。
