Pediatric AIDS
Pediatric AIDS refers to the condition where children are infected with the HIV virus, which can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). This infection can occur during childbirth, breastfeeding, or through contaminated blood. Children with Pediatric AIDS have weakened immune systems, making them more susceptible to infections and illnesses.
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing Pediatric AIDS. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) can help control the virus, allowing children to lead healthier lives. Regular medical care and support are essential for these children to thrive and develop normally, despite their condition.
