Belgian HIV Viral Load Newborn

Children born from mothers living with HIV are monitored by the seven Belgian AIDS Reference Laboratories, from birth to 18 months of age, to confirm or exclude HIV infection. Since 2015, viro-immunological data on those newborns are reported in the Belgian HIV Viral Load Surveillance and since 2018 in a specific register for newborns. This allows the monitoring of mother-to-child transmission in Belgium.
