Sixteen antiretroviral (ART) medications have been approved for use in pediatric HIV infection. The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has issued "Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in Pediatric HIV Infection", which provide detailed information on currently recommended antiretroviral therapies (ART).
