Paediatric HIV testing beyond the context of prevention of mother-to-child transmission: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Journal
The Lancet. HIVAbstract
Many HIV-positive children in low-income and middle-income countries remain undiagnosed. Although HIV testing in children at health facilities is recommended by WHO, it is not well implemented. This systematic review and meta-analysis examines the case-finding benefit of HIV screening in children aged 0-5 years in low-income and middle-income countries.PubMed ID
