Children Untreated Oct 20, 2012 How long does a child born with HIV begin to show symptoms if they are left untreated because the parents had no knowledge that the mother was positive? What is the survival rate of a child like that? |

 Hi and thanks for posting. Just like with adults, there's no way to predict if or when a particular child develops symptoms of HIV. Most will develop symptoms if not treated within a few years of life. The only way to know about the child's health is to get into care, get tested and when appropriate, get treatment. BY | ||||||||
