• UNICEF/UNAIDS Fourth Stocktaking Report on Children and AIDS
  • Dezember 2009
  • PDF, englisch
  • The Fourth Stocktaking Report on Children and AIDS calls attention to children and young people living in a world with HIV and AIDS. It comes four years after the launch of Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS, an initiative dedicated to putting children at the heart of the global AIDS response. The Stocktaking Report - a joint effort of UNICEF, UNAIDS, WHO and UNFPA - allows to reflect on how well the obligations to children have been met, and offers authoritative data, evidence and recommendations on how to accelerate action at all levels. On the occasion of its release on World AIDS Day 2009, the report charts progress towards the 2010 Universal Access targets and takes stock of the many challenges to meeting these goals. What you’ll find in this report:
    • Age- and gender- specific data on mothers, infants, children and young people.
    • Current knowledge, emerging evidence and examples of what works in the global response for children.
    • Concrete recommendations for action that can improve the well-being of children and help nations keep their commitments.
    • Investment needs to meet the goal of universal treatment, care and support for children.
  • Further information, a summary report, a powerpoint presentation and a factsheet are available online at: www.uniteforchildren.org

• HIV and infant feeding: Revised Principles and Recommendations
  
  • November 2009
  • PDF, Englisch
  • WHO recommendations on infant feeding and HIV were last revised in 2006 (published in 2007 as an HIV and Infant Feeding Update – ISBN 978 92 4 159596 41). Significant programmatic experience and research evidence regarding HIV and infant feeding have accumulated since then. In particular, evidence has been reported that antiretroviral (ARV) interventions to either the HIV-infected mother or HIV-exposed infant can significantly reduce the risk of postnatal transmission of HIV through breastfeeding. This has major implications for how women living with HIV might choose to feed their infants, and how health workers should counsel mothers when making these choices. The potential of ARVs to reduce HIV transmission throughout the period of breastfeeding also highlights the need for guidance on how child health services should communicate information about ARVs to prevent transmission through breastfeeding, and the implications for feeding of HIV exposed infants through the first two years of life.
