Abstract
This study has two goals. The first is to assess the consistency of the childhood mortality trends constructed from the direct and the indirect methods of estimation in high HIV prevalence settings. The second goal is to assess the direct impact of HIV / AIDS on childhood mortality in Kenya and Malawi for the periods 1999 - 2003 and 2000 - 2004 respectively. It is important to understand the impact of HIV on childhood mortality and childhood mortality measurement to ensure that child health planning and evaluation are correctly informed.
