Perinatal HIV status and executive function during school-age and adolescence: a comparative study of long-term cognitive capacity among children from a high HIV prevalence setting. Medicine, 95(17). DOI: 10.1097/MD.00000000000034380025-7974https://nru.uncst.go.ug/xmlui/handle/123456789/258The aim of this study was to determine whether perinatal HIV infection (PHIV), HIV-exposed uninfected (PHEU) versus HIVunexposed (PHU) status predicted long-term executive function (EF) deficit in school-aged Ugandan children. Perinatal HIV status was determined by 18 months via DNA polymerase chain reaction test and confirmed at cognitive assessment between 6 and 18 years using HIV rapid-diagnostic test. Primary outcome is child EF measured using behavior-rating inventory of executive function questionnaire across 8 subscales summed to derive the global executive composite (GEC).enHIVSchool-AgeAdolescenceArticle
