    Main Methods:

    • Review of current antiretroviral therapies and supportive care strategies.
    • Analysis of outcomes for HIV-infected children undergoing surgical procedures.
    • Discussion of clinical manifestations and laboratory monitoring requirements.

    Main Results:

    • Antiretroviral therapy, infection prophylaxis, and nutritional support lead to prolonged survival and improved quality of life.
    • HIV infection is not a contraindication for most surgical procedures in children.
    • Diverse clinical presentations and laboratory abnormalities require vigilant assessment.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric HIV infection management has advanced, allowing for extended survival with a good quality of life.
    • Surgical interventions are generally well-tolerated in HIV-infected children.
    • Ongoing monitoring and assessment are critical for managing the evolving manifestations of HIV in children.
