We describe 48 cases of HIV-1-infected children newly diagnosed in 2006 to 2012 in France. Native French children were born to women whose HIV testing were mostly missed (13.6%), offered late (9.1%) or negative at start of pregnancy and not subsequently reoffered (54.5%). HIV testing of immigrant children were performed late after arrival, despite prompt access to healthcare structures. HIV testing strategies need to be improved.
