Comparison of resting state functional networks in HIV infected and uninfected children at age 9 years
… we evaluated associations of past and present immune health measures with within-network connectivity using ICA. We found no HIV-related intra-network FC differences within any ICA-generated RSNs at age 9 years, perhaps as a result of within-network connectivity not being sufficiently robust at …

Brain morphometry of HIV-infected children on early antiretroviral therapy (ART) from age 5 to 9 years
… reduced substantially. More recently, the World Health Organisation's (WHO) recommendation of early antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation for children with perinatal HIV infection has considerably decreased the immediate effects of perinatal HIV infection, including mortality and morbidity. …

The impact of maternal HIV infection on uninfected neonate brain structure
… white matter connections and both maternal immune health and ART duration during pregnancy. These results suggest white matter is influenced to varying degrees by HIV and ART exposure, as well as maternal health in pregnancy. Chapter five looks at the possible functional consequences of the …

The influence of HIV and ART exposure on neonate brain volumes
… There is growing evidence that maternal health in pregnancy influences the infant neurodevelopment. However, there are limited studies including broad metrics of maternal health when studying typical and atypical infant neurodevelopment. Although the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is …

The influence of maternal HIV and ART exposure on neonate brain white matter integrity and organisation
… children. While HEU infants and children are healthier than their infected peers, they experience some developmental delays as compared to uninfected unexposed populations. Few brain imaging studies have been done in HEU infants and children, and so the effects of the exposure to in utero HIV …
