POS-424 PREVALENCE OF KIDNEY ABNORMALITIES SINCE 2015-WHO “TREAT ALL” STRATEGY IN HIV INFECTED CHILDREN

Abstract

In 2015, the WHO adopted the strategy "Treat all" which recommends the initiation of ART in everyone living with HIV regardless of the number of CD4 count. This strategy has decreased the mortality and increased the survival of HIV infected individuals. However, limited information is available regarding the burden of kidney abnormalities in HIV infected children since the implementation of this strategy. Our study aimed to describe the prevalence of kidney abnormalities in HIV infected children living in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) since 2015-WHO therapeutic recommendations.
