Preventing HIV Births Around the World

(RV - 22 May 10) Geneva-based partnership The Global Fund this week launched the Born HIV Free campaign, meant to mobilize public support for its work to create a world in which no child is born with HIV by 2015.

Currently, over 400,000 babies are born with HIV each year.

Andrew Hurst is a spokesman for The Global Fund. He told us that the campaign also aims to let the world know that mother-to-child transmission of HIV is easily avoidable.
