Failing children with HIV

46% of the world’s 1.7 million children living with HIV are still not on treatment in 2020 and 150,000 children were newly infected with HIV, four times more than the 2020 target of 40,000. Data also shows that opportunities to identify infants and young children living with HIV early are being missed—more than one third of children born to mothers living with HIV were not tested. If untreated, around 50% of children living with HIV die before they reach their second birthday.
