BACKGROUND Data are limited about the effectiveness of pediatric antiretroviral therapy (ART) in low-income countries. METHODS We report the outcomes of consecutively treating 236 human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected treatment-naive children with triple ART in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, between 1 May 2003 and 30 April 2006. RESULTS Kaplan-Meier survival analysis at follow-up demonstrated that 191 children (81%) remained in care, 21 (9%) were dead, and 24 (10%) were lost to follow-up. Independent baseline predictors of mortality were age <18 months, CD4(+) T cell percentage < or =5%, and weight-for-age Z score (WAZ) less than -3. Twelve months into ART, 56% of tested subjects had undetectable HIV-1 RNA loads. Median CD4(+) T cell percentages at 12 months increased by 15%, 11%, and 5% in children with baseline percentages of < or =5%, 6%-24%, and > or =25%, respectively (P<.01). The median WAZ at 12 months increased by 1.0, 0.6, and 0.2 in children with baseline WAZ less than -2, -2 to -1.1, and -1 or more, respectively (P<.01). CONCLUSION With continuous donor support, trained providers, and the availability of pediatric antiretroviral drug formulations, it proved feasible to deliver pediatric ART in Haiti. The effectiveness of this program should encourage efforts to make ART available for HIV-infected children in poor countries.

Successful and sustained efforts have been made to curtail the major cholera epidemic that occurred in Haiti in 2010 with the promotion of hygiene and sanitation measures, training of health personnel and establishment of treatment centers nationwide. Oral cholera vaccine (OCV) was introduced by the Haitian Ministry of Health as a pilot project in urban and rural areas. This paper reports the successful OCV pilot project led by GHESKIO Centers in the urban slums of Port-au-Prince where 52,357 persons received dose 1 and 90.8% received dose 2; estimated coverage of the at-risk community was 75%. This pilot study demonstrated the effort, community mobilization, and organizational capacity necessary to achieve these results in a challenging setting. The OCV intervention paved the way for the recent launching of a national cholera vaccination program integrated in a long-term ambitious and comprehensive plan to address Haitis critical need in water security and sanitation.
