IntroductionExecutive function (EF) may be impaired in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and poor EF may affect medication adherence. However, there is little data on EF in children with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. Methods208 children/adolescents with perinatally acquired HIV and 208 HIV-exposed uninfected controls were recruited in Zambia for this prospective cohort study. EF was measured using performance-based, self-report, and parental report measures. Adherence over one year of follow-up was assessed through questionnaires and viral load measurement. ResultsChildren with HIV performed significantly worse on all three measures of EF. Lower parental rating of EF was associated with poorer antiretroviral therapy adherence (OR: 1.5, 95% CI = 1.02 - 2.2, p = 0.04). ConclusionChildren with HIV have EF impairments which may lead to consequences like poor medication adherence and treatment failure. Interventions to improve EF or compensate for impaired EF may be necessary in this population.
