While rates of HIV in children have declined significantly since the early 2000s, an estimated 270 000 children aged 0 –14 are living with HIV, 10 000 become newly infected and 2100 die from AIDS each year, according to UNAIDS. The majority of HIV-positive children are infected before and during birth, whereas others acquire HIV later through breastfeeding.
