ViiV Breakthrough Partnership Factsheet

Overview

 Since 2010, new annual HIV infections among children declined by 52%, from 320,000 in 2010 to 160,000 in 2021. In 2021, 38.4 million people were living with HIV, with 1.7 million of them being children aged 0 to 14 years. 76% of adults aged 15 years and older living with HIV had access to treatment compared to 52% of children aged 0 to 14 years.

Twelve countries accounted for 80% of this treatment gap, with about 700,000 children needing treatment. These include Nigeria, Mozambique, Uganda, Malawi, Kenya, and Zimbabwe, where The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) has active programs.
