abstract: The chronic nature of HIV/AIDS requires many resources in its management, yet knowledge on the rate of HIV infection transition from one stage to another is scanty. This study sheds light on the estimates of HIV infection progression and its co-factors among children for policy intervention. The study appraises the chronological effect of demographic and socioeconomic factors on the lifecourse of HIV-AIDS through a lifecourse theoretical perspective. In a 136 months retrospective follow-up of 59 children, 5,108 person months were contributed on HIV infection lifecourse of which 55% is lived with asymptomatic stage. The duration of exposure to HIV infection contributed in each stage decreases with progressive amplification in the infection. The expectation of life falls yet the great probability of HIV infection progression amplifies once a child progresses from asymptomatic stage. Age at initiation of treatment, caregivers, father’s survival and religious affiliation causes disparities in HIV infection progression.
