Abstract
Helminthic infections in HIV-positive children can lead to disability and reduced quality of life. This review focuses on intestinal helminthic infections among school children living with HIV in Nigeria. Integrating deworming into existing HIV care could further reduce HIV-related morbidity and mortality in this population. Increased awareness of helminthic co-infection burden is needed, and collaborative strategies between government and non-governmental organizations are essential to help HIV-positive children reach adulthood.
