Detailed Description: Children and adolescents with HIVAIDS are living well beyond the life expectancy that was projected for them in the past As the number of survivors of vertically or transfusion associated pediatric HIV disease increases attention to the psychosocial adjustment of these adolescents and young adults becomes increasingly important Studies in the late 1990s described child and adolescent survivors as generally well adjusted though difficulties become more apparent as the child approached the age of 18 Nothing is known about these HIV positive youngsters as they enter late adolescence and young adulthood This study will examine psychosocial factors associated with long-term survival of HIVAIDS including the prevalence of psychiatric diagnoses risk behaviors evaluation of self competence and the impact that multiple losses has on the adolescents emotional well-being In addition data will be collected from the primary caregivers on the prevalence of parenting stress compared to national norms Subjects will include children who have been infected either perinatally or through transfusion for at least eight years and who are aware of their diagnosis
