Évolution de la qualité de vie des enfants et adolescents infectés par le virus de l'immunodéficience humaine (VIH) sous multithérapie antirétrovirale : effet de l'âge et du contexte familial

Conclusion. - The progressive decline of QoL in HIV-infected children, and the surprising high and steady level of satisfaction over-time provided by the adolescents, underlined the frailty of this population and the need for a psychologic management associated to the medical follow-up. Such a multidisciplinary approach should take into account the preoccupations and difficulties of each age-class, those linked to the diagnosis itself, and to the familial or scolar contexts, in order to preserve QoL of this pediatric population, as far as possible, in a long term.
