Abstract
SUMMARY As do other countries in the Caribbean and the developing world, Trinidad and Tobago continue to use residential institutions for vulnerable children. This demographic study of children with HIV/AIDS in residential care examines issues of poverty, health, race, gender, and the prevalence of HIV/AIDS among children in residential care. By focusing on children within the only institution in Trinidad and Tobago for children with HIV/AIDS, a profile of the social characteristics of children is provided and the care and social work services children receive in the home are examined. The study indicates that some of the children who once tested positive for HIV can mature to adulthood and would, therefore, need child welfare planning for permanence.
