It would be a mistake to reduce funding for clinical research on HIV-infected children living in the United States, because such research might not only help these children but also contribute to the care of HIV-infected children worldwide who are starting to benefit from ART and who, in the near future, undoubtedly will develop the same problems that U.S. children are now experiencing," Dr. Yogev writes.
