‘The Aids pandemic did not end with the Covid-19 pandemic’ - News24

The report found that at least 310 000 children were newly infected with HIV in 2020.

The UNICEF report says that focusing on Covid-19 and neglecting HIV is a dangerous and short-sighted strategy for safeguarding and improving the health and wellbeing of those most vulnerable to HIV.

"Averting new HIV infections and boosting treatment access among children and adolescents can and should be a priority at the same time that Covid-19 is being tackled, to ensure that all HIV prevention and treatment interventions can be delivered safely, consistently and without fear of interruption," the report states.

The report states that the world missed every UNAIDS goal.
