More than 85 percent of our current patients (HIV-infected and HIV-exposed) are age 12 or under, with bodies and brains still developing, meaning HIV is likely to have even more severe consequences than those who are infected as adult patients.
For over 20 years, children and adolescents affected by or infected with HIV have a powerful ally in the form the team of specialists at the Bill Holt Pediatric HIV Clinic at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. The clinic is the only comprehensive pediatric HIV clinic in the state of Arizona, providing comprehensive care for children and adolescents exposed to or infected with HIV.
