Abstract

Rapid serological tests are unreliable for the diagnosis of HIV exposure and infection in infants. This case reports an HIV-infected infant with a delayed diagnosis due to multiple negative serological tests, highlighting the importance of maternal testing for provider-initiated testing and counseling in hospitalized infants.
