Abstract
Temperament is a very important aspect of functioning that needs to be understood in children with HIV. Temperament significantly influences the manner in which a child interacts with the environment over the long term. Temperamental traits may be an early sign of vulnerability to later development of psychological problems. The aim of this study was to analyze the temperamental traits associated with children with HIV. Three groups of thirty each of children with HIV staying with family, children with HIV staying at orphanage homes away from family attending outpatient services at paediatric ART centre and children without HIV staying at orphanage homes away from family attending paediatric outpatient clinic for minor ailments were matched for age, sex, education and social background. The Temperamental Measurement Schedule (TMS) was used for evaluating the temperamental dimensions.
