Brain Chemistry of Infants with HIV Exposure
Contact
Description
Most of the infants born to HIV-positive mothers are HIV-exposed but uninfected. HIV exposure in infants may cause brain developmental delays. This study will look for changes in the brain that might have occurred due to HIV exposure in infants. These measurements can lead to novel insights regarding the impact of HIV exposure in infants' brain and potentially guide the development of new therapies to mitigate abnormal brain development.
