Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (9)

  • Neurologic abnormalities

    Assessed via head circumference measurement and medical record review for documented clinical diagnoses of seizures, microcephaly, or other neurologic diagnosis.

    Annually birth through age 5; semiannual thereafter, assessments vary based on age of child.

  • Neurodevelopmental abnormalities

    Assessed via the following neurodevelopmental tests: Bayley Screener, Bayley III, WPPSI-III, BASC-2, WASI, WISC-IV, BRIEF, WIAT II.

    1, 3, 5, 9, and 13 years of age, assessments vary based on age of child.

  • Abnormal growth and metabolic function

    Assessed through the measurement of height, weight, tricep skinfold thickness, mid-upperarm circumference measurements, insulin and glucose, and fasting lipids.

    Annually birth through age 5; semiannual thereafter, assessments vary based on age of child.

  • Cardiac abnormalities

    Assessed through the administration of echocardiograms and serum biomarkers (ProBNP).

    Ages 3-5.

  • Hearing dysfunction

    Assessed via audiologic evaluation conducted by an audiologist.

    At age 5 and for children of all ages meeting a hearing/language trigger.

  • Language dysfunction

    Assessed via the following language tests: MCDI, Ages and Stages Communication Scale, PPVT IV, Goldman Fristoe 2, Rice Wexler, TELD-3, TOLD-3, Woodcock, CELF IV.

    1, 2, 3, 5, and 9 years of age, assessments vary based on age.

  • Drug Use and Sexual Activity

    The assessment of sexual behavior and substance use will be conducted using an Audio Computer Assisted Survey Instrument (ACASI). ACASI uses computer and voice recordings so that the participant hears (through headphones) and sees (on the screen) each question and response list. The use of ACASI is proven to minimize response bias due to the presence of an interviewer.

    11, 13, 15, and 17 years of age.

  • Abnormal organ function

    Assessed through the measurement of lipase, CPK, ALT, creatinine, glucose, LDH, BUN, WBC, PMN, lymphocytes, platelets, or hemoglobin ( ≥ Grade 3 adverse event).

    Birth and age one, semiannual thereafter.

  • Death due to unknown medical condition

    Assessed through autopsy review.

    Annual.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Maternal substance use during pregnancy

    Entry visit.

Study Arms (4)

Static Cohort- closed to enrollment and follow-up

HIV-uninfected children \< 12 years of age at the time of enrollment, born of HIV-infected mothers

Dynamic Cohort

HIV-uninfected children born of HIV-infected mothers enrolled from prior to birth through ≤ 72 hours of age

Reference Cohort- closed to enrollment and follow-up

HIV-uninfected children born to a mother HIV uninfected at the time of the child's birth enrolled at 1, 3, 5, or 9 years of age(± 3 months) at the time of the study visit

Young Adult Cohort- closed to enrollment and follow-up

Former Dynamic and Static Cohort participants ≥ 18 years of age.

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Children aged 0 - \< 12 years born of HIV-infected mothers recruited from a clinical setting.

You may qualify if:

  • Dynamic Cohort:
  • HIV-exposed living fetus greater than or equal to 23 weeks gestation or a live infant born after 22 weeks gestation. Infants exposed and unexposed to ART will be enrolled.
  • Any infant born of an HIV-infected mother may be enrolled pending determination of the infant's HIV infection status. However, infants found to be HIV-positive will be discontinued from the study and will be referred for care outside this study. HIV infection status will be determined using the Diagnosis of Lack of Infection in HIV-Exposed Children.
  • ART exposure data by trimester of pregnancy must be available if ART exposed.
  • Entry prior to birth through \< 72 hours of age.
  • Willingness of parent/legal guardian to provide written permission for child to participate in study.
  • Willingness of biological mother to enroll at initial enrollment of her child.

You may not qualify if:

  • Dynamic Cohort:
  • None
