Studies established that the overall rate of Vertical transmission (TV) is 1.9%, and the extensive use of the therapy antiretroviral highly active combined (TARGA) have a high impact on the reduction of TV. The objective of this study is to identify the time of HIV seroconversion in the newborn infants’ hospital Teófilo Dávila de Machala, Ecuador.
