Summary
This study examines the effects of an infant formula containing increased calories, as
compared to commercial formulas, when given during the first 6 months of life. It will
examine effects on growth, disease progress, immune system, and quality of life of infected
infants.
HIV disease in infants often leads to nutritional deficiencies. Providing increased nutrition
early in their lives may help the quality of life of children who contract HIV from their
mothers.
