Prevention of Vertical Transmission

It is critical that women living with HIV have ready access to services geared toward stopping the transmission of HIV to their children during pregnancy, delivery, and breastfeeding. Connecting mothers and their children to continued support, testing, retesting, and treatment services during these times lies at the core of prevention and elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (P/EMTCT) programming.

HIV in Adolescence

With increased investments and promising new prevention tools, HIV prevention is experiencing a renaissance. Yet, the rate of decline in new HIV infections among adolescents remains insufficient to meet global targets. Between 2010 and 2020, there was a 34 per cent decline in new HIV infections among adolescents aged 10 – 19, a far cry from the target of a 75 per cent reduction for this period.
