Children, Youth and Community-led Responses to HIV

About 43% of children living with HIV were not receiving treatment in 2023, while treatment coverage among adults was 77%. Only 48% of children compared to 73% of adults attained viral suppression. As a result of the failure by HIV decisionmakers and funders to adequately meet the needs of children and adolescents living with HIV, approximately 90,000 children and adolescents died from AIDS-related causes in 2023.
