To the Editor—In Thailand, an estimated 20,000 children are living with HIV infection, at least one-half of whom have lost one or both parents. Caring for an HIV-infected child is complex, especially when there is a need to administer antiretroviral therapy (ART). Caregivers play a major role in assuring that children adhere to therapy. We investigated whether adherence to ART was different for Thai children with biological parents (BPs) versus nonbiological parents (NBPs).
