Globally,1.8 million children under age 15 are living with HIV (2015). Those born to mothers living with HIV have poorer growth and higher morbidity and mortality than children who are born to mothers who are not infected with HIV. Survival and quality of life in children living with HIV/AIDS have substantially improved Since the introduction of triple-drug combination antiretroviral therapy HIV Prevention is still the master key Including: -Primary prevention of HIV infection - Prevention of pregnancies among women infected with HIV - Prevention of HIV transmission from women infected with HIV to their infants - Provision of treatment, care and support to women infected with HIV, and their infants Low CD4 count and low weight for age are predictors of mortality The predictors of mortality have an evident influence on the survival of the children living with HIV/AIDS.
