Studies from multiple countries have suggested impaired immunity in perinatally human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-exposed uninfected children (HEU), with elevated rates of all-cause hospitalization and infections. We estimated and compared the incidence of all-cause hospitalization and infection-related hospitalization in the first 2 years of life among HEU and HIV-unexposed uninfected children (HUU) in the United States. Among HEU, we evaluated associations of maternal HIV disease-related factors during pregnancy with risk of child hospitalization.
