Differences in growth trajectories in breastfed HIV-exposed uninfected and HIV-unexposed infants in Kenya: An observational cohort study
Despite breastfeeding and optimal maternal dolutegravir-based ART, CHEU experienced growth deficits compared to CHU in the first two years of life. Continued monitoring of the expanding CHEU population is essential in the context of rapidly evolving guidelines and policies to optimize their health and to identify and prevent future health disparities and disease risks.
