Abstract
HIV/AIDS in children has emerged during third phase of HIV epidemic as a result of high level of infection in women of child bearing age. Now it is being detected at an alarming rate. Various methods of HIV/AIDS transmission, prevalence of HIV in multitransfused, modes of prevention and control of HIV infection in children, antenatal care of HIV positive women, infant feeding options, safe blood along with other intervention have been reviewed.
