AIDS Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS Six-week-old Mwitwa has a dry blood spot test for HIV at a clinic in Lusaka, Zambia. UNICEF has supported the expansion of this recent method of diagnosis, resulting in much earlier identification of babies needing HIV treatment and care in poorer countries. Infants diagnosed and treated within the first 12 weeks of life are 75 per cent more likely to survive the virus.
UNICEF as a global force Every child has the right to be as healthy as possible. Yet in 2008, nearly 390,000 babies were born with HIV, 280,000 children died of AIDS, over 2 million children were living with HIV, and more than 17 million children had lost one or both parents to AIDS. This is wrong. UNICEF’s global campaign Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS has four key aims to put it right: prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV provide children with life-saving anti-retroviral medicine prevent new infections among young people protect, care for and support orphans.
