U.N. Says PMTCT Of HIV Is Achievable, Efforts Must Target Millions Currently 'Falling Through The Cracks'
"A generation of babies could be born free of AIDS if the international community stepped up efforts to provide universal access to HIV prevention, treatment and social protection, the United Nations said on Tuesday," Reuters reports. The declaration came on the eve of World AIDS Day, as U.N. leaders released a new report (.pdf), which found "millions of women and children, particularly in poor countries, fall through the cracks of HIV services either due to their gender, social or economic status, location or education," according to the news service (Kelland, 11/30).
