New study aims to improve brain development screening for HIV-Exposed kids
NCT ID NCT07457411
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the best ways to screen young children (16-24 months old) who were exposed to HIV for possible delays in brain development. Researchers will compare two screening methods used by healthcare workers during regular clinic visits in Botswana and Kenya. They want to see how many children get screened, how well the methods work, and how much time and money they cost.
