First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving HIV treatment to babies within the first week of life can reduce the amount of virus hiding in their bodies. Researchers want to see if this early start helps the immune system fight HIV better, possibly allowing children to stop medication for a while. The study involves 67 HIV-positive infants in Botswana and tracks their health and virus levels over time.
