Description

The assessment of children who sustain central nervous system (CNS) insult requires approaches that differ in several ways from adult-based assessment. The rapid changes that occur in the developing CNS as well as in behavior reflect underlying processes of growth and development. This study will be conducted as a nested substudy within ACTG 152. AS PER AMENDMENT 10/24/97: ACTG 188 was originally a nested study within ACTG 152, a three-arm clinical drug trial, but, due to recruitment limitations, expanded to include other protocol and non-protocol children with HIV-1 infection. It will in...
