Children and HIV

I want to share an article from the WCC. The following is an excerpt from it.


"In 2016 alone there were 160,000 new child infections, and every day 330 children died of AIDS-related diseases.

The shocking fact is that only 43 percent of all children living with HIV were on lifesaving antiretroviral therapy. To make matters worse, the report says that the rate of increase in the number on treatment has slowed in recent years...(http://www.oikoumene.org)."


Click on the link below for the full article. Blessings!


Treatment target for children living with HIV may not be reached by 2018 — World Council of Churches
