We evaluated treatment failure misclassification in human immunodeficiency virus-infected Kenyan children whose targeted viral loads were determined after suspected immunologic/clinical failure according to 2006 and 2010/2013 World Health Organization guidelines. The misclassification rate was 21% for the 2006 guidelines and 46% for the 2010/2013 guidelines, which supports current recommendations for routine viral load monitoring but not necessarily the proposed CD4 thresholds.
