Abstract
We present a case of an in utero HIV-infected child, who on day 1 of life had a positive whole blood total nucleic acid test but viral load <20 RNA copies/mL. Dried blood spot total nucleic acid testing was negative on day 1, 10 and at 3 months, while on ART prophylaxis then positive at 5 months after prophylaxis ended. Retrospective peripheral blood mononuclear cells HIV DNA testing from day 1 of life was positive, confirming in utero infection.Entities:
