The AVERT Stop AIDS in Children campaign
Every year, nearly half a million babies are infected with HIV, and 330,000 children die of AIDS. The international HIV and AIDS charity AVERT wants to see this change. This World AIDS Day, our Stop AIDS in Children campaign will be asking for the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) to be made a top priority across the globe. To find out more about the campaign, and to discover how you can help, please watch the video and visit our Stop AIDS in Children campaign page.
