More information
The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation is a global leader in the fight against pediatric HIV and AIDS. We’re working in 17 countries around the world to provide HIV prevention, care, and treatment services for women, children, and families—with a mission to eliminate pediatric AIDS. Thanks to the Foundation, pediatric AIDS has been virtually eliminated in the United States. We’ve also made remarkable strides throughout the world: nearly half of HIV-positive pregnant women in low- and middle-income countries now receive medicines to help prevent transmission of HIV to their babies — triple the percentage from just three years earlier. One in four of those women receive their medicines through Foundation-supported programs. Yet despite our progress, nearly 1,200 children are still infected with HIV every day because their mothers don’t have access to the medicines they need to prevent transmission of the virus. We can — and must — change this.
