This is the first study to analyze the Kenya National Early Infant Diagnosis database, which contains the results of samples from January 2008 to October 2013 of infants ages 0–18 months who were exposed to HIV. The findings show a significantly decreasing trend of HIV-positive results. This demonstrates that early infant diagnosis results could be used to assess programs for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission.
