Abstract
A recent randomized trial showed dramatic improvement in survival of HIV-infected infants receiving early combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). However, few data are available for resource-limited settings. Therefore we conducted a chart review of HIV-infected infants initiated on cART between 2005 and 2008. Of 129 treated infants, 94 completed 6 months, 62 completed 12 months, and 39 completed 18 months of cART. Median age at initiation of cART was 8.6 months (range 2.1-11.9) and 77.2% had advanced disease. Undetectable VL was found in 78.8% of children who reached 18 months of treatment. CD4% increased from a median of 15.4% at baseline to 33.1% at 18 months. Weight for age Z-score increased from a mean ± SD of -2.7 ± 1.97 to 0.02 ± 1.10 at 18 months. Findings show favourable response to cART in HIV-infected infants outside a research environment, despite initial advanced disease. Efforts should be made to initiate cART as early as possible.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
