		HIV infection sites in infants and children Oct 15, 2001 I have read that the central nervous system is the largest site for HIV infections in infants and children. I was trying to find data to support this, but was unable to. Why is the central nervous system affected more than other systems such as the GI, integumentary, or musculoskeletal?
