Abstract

This study allows us to analyze the quality of life of the children of HIV mothers who are exposed to VIH transmission at birth, and that according to statistics guide prevention and control of mother to child transmission, treatment after mother -child transmission of 40% is reduced to a value of 0-2%. Once the study is concluded, 1 in 69 children, was the result of vertical transmission of HIV from mother to child, the quality of life could be measured in terms of the percentage of infection. About adherence to treatment there was a somewhat negative connotation, because a small percentage underestimated the importance of attending postnatal checks. In postnatal checks, were observed underweight children, children with repeated respiratory infections, children susceptible to gastroenterology or dermatological infections, children who failed to adhere to treatment because their parents neglect. By measuring quality of life in relation to the percentage of Vertical Transmission, we conclude that we obtained a very satisfactory result, and analyzing the sample variables, such as nutritional status, parental care, postnatal controls, the results were also very satisfactory.
