Children Perinatally Exposed to HIV and ART Associated with Decreased Weight and Height

A new study shows that African children of mothers who breastfeed and are exposed perinatally to HIV and ART exhibit lower weight and height.

This trial was conducted in both Uganda and Malawi. Two groups of children were compared: one that had been exposed to HIV and ART but had not been infected with the virus, and one that had not been exposed. Infants in the exposed group had significantly lower birth weights than the control group. In the Ugandan group, children between 1 and 2 years had significantly lower length compared to controls, and had significantly lower mean head circumference at 2 years. In Malawi, only the difference in length at 2 years was statistically significant.

This stunting of children is associated with poorer survival to the age of 5, obesity, and metabolic related complications, along with a higher risk of behavioral difficulties.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
