‘Don’t Forget the Children’
Guidance for the HIV testing of children with HIV-positive parents.

Undiagnosed HIV infection is a significant problem in the UK. Much attention has been given to the problem of undiagnosed HIV-positive adults, though the proportion of these adults who remain unaware of their HIV infection has remained largely unchanged over the last few years. Antenatal HIV testing and diagnosis has been a great success and shows what can be achieved with a focused and well targeted strategy. There appears to have been less attention given to identifying undiagnosed HIV-positive children.
