Mothers and children are being left behind

The means for eliminating new HIV infections in children (aged 0–14 years) exist, but gaps in services to prevent vertical transmission of HIV still leave hundreds of thousands of children at high risk of HIV each year. Children who do acquire HIV—130 000 [90 000–210 000] in 2022—are also much less likely than adults living with HIV to be treated successfully.

Sustainable Development Goals:

Good Health and Well-Being
