Phase N/A

Brief description of study.

The purpose of this study is to identify methods to distinguish vertical and horizontal transmission of HIV infections among Kenyan adolescents 10-19 years of age via the following specific aims: 1) examine the feasibility of using phylogenetics to determine HIV infection through vertical versus horizontal transmission in adolescents, and 2) compare demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics of vertical and horizontal predicted-infection in HIV-infected adolescents and their mothers.
