Abstract

Over 41 thousand children have been born from HIV-positive parents in Russia since 2002. Due to modern medicine the transfer of HIV from parents to a child is managed to prevent in 98–99% cases, but in spite of this more than 2 thousand children, born from HIV-positive mothers have been still infected. The most recurring clinical implication of HIV among children is psychomotor and physical retardation. Another serious problem is biological and social desolateness, connected with HIV-positive status of their parents. Solution to many problems of social adaptation of HIV-positive children is possible in dispute.
