    The main form of transmission of the Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in children is the vertical transmission. The HIV virus has preference for cells of the immune system and from the central nervous system. It can go through the hematoencephalic barrier causing delays in the psychomotor and sociocognitive development in these children. The investigation of the motor and cognitive development of infants exposed to the H IV virus, associated with the use of an antiretroviral, is of great importance as the positive diagnostic of the HIV virus only happens around the 18th month after the child's birthday. The goal of this study was to compare the motor and cognitive development of infants exposed ant not exposed to the HIV virus on their first 18 months of age. The re were 80 infants analysed in this transversal study between ages of 4, 8, 12 and 18 months which were divided in 2 groups: Experimental Group-EG (composed by infants, children of HIV positive mothers who follow medical treatment at the center of reference in the city of Santos) and Control Group-CG (composed of infants of mothers who were not exposed to the HIV virus). As evaluation tools the Bayley Scale of Infant and Toddler Development III (BSITD III) were used. The results demonstrated differences for the factor group in the motor and cognitive domain, and there were higher scores for the CG compared to the EG, regardless of the age. It was verified by the EG infants lower scores for the cognitive domain in the 8th and 18th month. In the categories of classification of the motor and cognitive development, the babies were classified as average, except one baby from the EG group with 18th months for motor development. To conclude, the infants who were exposed to the HIV and the antiretroviral therapy dont show alterations in the motor and cognitive development in the first 18 months of life but they show lower cognitive development in the 8th and 18th month.
