Children with HIV infection (HIV+) are at neuropsychological risk, but few studies have evaluated this at multiple sites in low and middle income countries (LMICs). We compared neuropsychological outcomes at enrollment (> 5 yrs age) among HIV+, HIV-uninfected perinatally-exposed (HEU), and HIV unexposed (HU) children from 4 sub-Saharan countries. IMPAACT P1060 compared Nevirapine (NVP) versus Lopinavir/Ritonavir (LPVr)-based ART in HIV-infected children 6 to 35 months of age. This study (P1104s) enrolled P1060 children at 5–11 years of age and evaluated their neuropsychological performance over 2 years using the KABC-II, TOVA, BOT-2, and parent-reported BRIEF . Cohorts were compared using GEE least-squares means adjusted for site, child age and gender, and personal and social characteristics for child and caregiver. 611 (246 HIV+, 183 HEU, 182 HU) of the 615 enrolled at 6 sites (South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Uganda) were available for analysis. Mean age was 7.2 years, 48% male, 69% in school. Unadjusted and adjusted comparisons were consistent. HIV+ children performed significantly worse than HEU and HUU on KABC-II, TOVA, BOT-2 (P< 0.001), but not on the BRIEF. HUU and HEU cohorts were comparable on cognitive outcomes. HIV+ children initiated on ARV treatment before one year of age had significantly better only in BOT-2 total motor proficiency compared to those started after. Significant cognitive deficits were documented among HIV+ children. Earlier HIV treatment, neuropsychological monitoring and rehabilitative interventions are needed. Subsequent testing for 2 more years will help evaluate how HIV infection and exposure affect the developmental trajectory.
