NEW YORK, USA, 1 December 2008 A new report from four UN agencies entitled Children and AIDS: Third Stocktaking Report, 2008 is advocating for increased HIV testing for newborns as young as six-weeks-old. It was coordinated to be released on 1 December World AIDS Day.
Counselling and support is critical for new mothers living with HIV in order to help inform choices that must be made around the time of early infant diagnosis.
We are making real progress in terms of prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and of treatment of young people, but at the same time there is a huge amount that needs to be done, said UNICEF Chief of HIV/AIDS Jimmy Kolker.
The Children and AIDS: Third Stocktaking Repor 2008 was jointly prepared by UNICEF, the World Health Organization, UNAIDS and the United Nations Population Fund.

www.unicef.it - In Africa meridionale, lHIV/AIDS ha avuto unincidenza devastante su ogni aspetto della vita. Per molti, soprattutto per i bambini contagiati alla nascita dalle loro madri, linfezione è spesso il segnale di una precoce condanna a morte.
