Over 1,000 Children Infected A Day
About half a million children under the age of 15 were infected with HIV in 2006, most contacting the virus during, or shortly after, birth.
According to a new U.N. report, only 9 percent of HIV-infected pregnant women in middle to low-income countries are receiving anti-retroviral drugs to reduce mother-to-child transmissions, and even though some sub-Sahara countries are making progress, only seven low to medium-income countries worldwide are “on track to meet the target of providing access to treatment for 80 percent of women in need by 2010.”
