The most efficient and cost-effective way to tackle paediatric HIV globally is to reduce mother-to-child transmission (MTCT). However, every day there are nearly 1500 new infections in children under 15 years of age, more than 90% of them occurring in the developing world and most being associated with MTCT (1). HIV-infected infants frequently present with clinical symptoms in the first year of life, and by one year of age an estimated one-third of infected infants will have died, and about half by 2 years of age (2,3). There is thus a critical need to provide antiretroviral therapy (ART) for infants and children who become infected despite the efforts being made to prevent such infections.

The combined prevention and care response has generated considerable dividends. Download this publication |
| The global AIDS response has steadily grown and gained momentum since UN Member States made a Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS at the 2001 Special Session of the UN General Assembly. This momentum has occurred within wider efforts to place countries more firmly in command of their own development programmes. Based on these developments, UNAIDS is facilitating a multi-partner, country-driven effort to scale up towards Universal Access. Download this publication |
