1248 (100.0%) NRT and 2757 (82.9%) BIPAI-PITC patients were HIV counseled, with 0 (0.0%) NRT and 64 (2.3%) BIPAI-PITC patients declining subsequent HIV testing.

1167 (93.5%) NRT and 2243 (83.3%) BIPAI-PITC patients were classified based on HIV test results obtained during their hospital admission and 81 (6.5%) NRT and 450 (16.7%) BIPAI-PITC patients were classified based on valid HIV test results obtained prior to their hospital admission.

Patients were not enrolled in outpatient HIV care at the time of hospitalization.

§

Seventy (79.5%) NRT and 108 (43.4%) BIPAI-PITC patients were classified based on HIV test results obtained during their hospital admission and 18 (20.5%) NRT and 141 (56.6%) BIPAI-PITC patients were classified based on valid HIV test results obtained prior to their hospital admission.

Twenty-one (67.7%) NRT and 81 (44.3%) BIPAI-PITC patients tested HIV DNA PCR positive, and 10 (32.3%) NRT and 102 (55.7%) BIPAI-PITC patients tested HIV DNA PCR negative.

Patients received outpatient HIV care at the Baylor College of Medicine-Abbott, Fund Children's Clinical Centre of Excellence.
