Although not collected from sites of treatment by SOPHID, data on children (under 15 years of age) are reported via the National Study of HIV in Pregnancy and Childhood (NSHPC) and the Collaborative HIV Paediatric Study (CHIPS) and are included in the SOPHID tables. Infants may receive HIV-related treatment or care even if they are later found to be uninfected. For this reason, 3b, 7c and National table 8 are provided detailing the numbers of these infants.
