This surveillance program is designed to prospectively capture information on all infants born to HIV infected mothers in Canada, as well as all HIV infected children receiving care in Canadian centres.
 
Inclusion criteria:

• All live-born infants born in Canada to mothers known to be living with HIV that are followed at the participating sites.
• All children living with HIV, regardless of country of birth, who acquired HIV through perinatal transmission and are receiving care at the participating sites.
• All children living with HIV who acquired HIV through means other than perinatal transmission, or where perinatal transmission is not certain, and are receiving pediatric care at the participating sites.
  This new group will be included as of 2020, and will be limited to children born since 2000, who acquired HIV prior to the age of 18.
• HIV-uninfected siblings of children in the database are included only if they were born in Canada at a time after the mother acquired HIV infection.

Exclusion criteria:

• HIV-uninfected older siblings of children in the database who were born outside Canada.
• HIV uninfected older siblings of children in the database who were born in Canada, but prior to mother's HIV acquisition
