UNICEF's latest HIV estimates are a powerful reminder. While we've made incredible strides – 84% of pregnant women with HIV now receive treatment protecting their health and babies' lives, and new infections have dropped significantly since 2010 – significant gaps remain, especially for children, adolescents, and pregnant women. ➡ The starkest gap is treatment access. Only 57% of children with HIV receive life-saving antiretroviral therapy, compared to 77% of adults. Tragically, this results in 250 children under 14 dying from AIDS-related causes every single day. ➡Adolescent girls face another critical challenge. We're far from reaching the SDG target of a 90% reduction in new infections among them. Each day, 571 adolescent girls and young women become newly infected, with the vast majority (78%) in sub-Saharan Africa. These numbers underscore the urgent need to redouble our efforts. We must close the treatment gap and develop targeted interventions to protect our most vulnerable populations. Let's work together to ensure every child, adolescent, and woman has access to the care they deserve. #EndAIDS #HIVprevention #ChildrensHealth Read 👉 https://lnkd.in/dXks2fg9
