The purpose of this study is to characterize the quality of life (QOL) and longitudinal
patterns of change in QOL outcomes in children and youth with HIV infection; to identify
demographic, social, disease status, treatment, and health care utilization factors that
predict longitudinal changes in outcomes; to develop a conceptual model that characterizes
the effects of specific factors that predict longitudinal changes in QOL; and to
characterize the influence of HIV symptoms on QOL outcomes in the domains of health
perceptions, physical, psychological, and social role functioning.

This is a Phase III study. This study will use national data available through a
prospective, observational, longitudinal study of children and youth (n=1,993) from birth to
25 with HIV infection (Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Group Protocol 219/219C) to develop
knowledge about the quality of life (QOL) and the factors that affect it in order to be able
to implement effective nursing interventions and clinical programs to support and improve
QOL in this vulnerable population of children.

- Children and youth, from birth to 25 years old, who acquired HIV through birth.
