Every Child, End AIDS

2016

This report by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) examines children living with HIV and the risk they face of AIDS-related death. It addresses the measures and possible solutions used to alleviate the burden of HIV/AIDS in children and adolescents. Focusing on the available means to prevent new infections and initiate treatment earlier, the report identifies a collective failure to prioritize the care of children in the HIV epidemic. It goes on to encourage the support of prevention methods and local solutions, as well as an increase in data collection and an end to gender-based discrimination. Young children (aged 0-4) living with HIV represent the age group at highest-risk for AIDS-related death; as such, the report seeks to spur immediate action towards finding a lasting and effective solution.
