Abstract
Quality of life for AIDS‐infected children can be greatly enhanced when they have opportunities to attend programs appropriate for their ages and developmental levels. Long‐ and short‐term educational planning for HIV‐infected children and their families require a team approach with a physician as a willing and active participant. This paper presents research findings regarding opinions about group care for asymptomatic HIV‐infected children and issues of confidentiality regarding children's HIV status of senior residents in Pediatric and Family Medicine training programs across the United States. Results indicated that residents were willing to certify children to attend group care activities but differences were observed by physician specialty and age of the child. Most physicians felt that program administrators should be aware of the child's HIV status and that parents should be the informing agent.
