Dr. Itziar Familiar presents on infant cognitive development and HIV at AIDS

Congratulations to Dr. Itziar Familiar and co-authors for their abstract “Predictors of neurocognitive outcomes among a cohort of 12-month old infants from Uganda of mixed HIV status” was programmed for a poster presentation at The International AIDS Conference in Durban, South Africa. In this work, we found that HIV-exposed-uninfected children have significantly more cognitive delay than HIV-unexposed-uninfected children. Further, ARV exposure may be associated with better cognitive performance among HIV-exposed but uninfected children, and children living in environments with more stimulation may have better neurocognitive development overall.
