Great progress has been made towards epidemic control of HIV including a significant reduction in the number of children newly infected with HIV in 2022, with a 58% 130,000 [CI: 90,000-210,000] decline in new infections among children <5, from 310,000 [210,000-490,000] in 2010. Despite this progress, children continue to lag behind in meeting the 95-95-95, including disproportionately higher mortality rates. Several initiatives highlighted the importance of focused attention on pediatrics, understanding the epidemic in children given stagnant progress in PMTCT programmes. Concerns have been raised regarding UNAIDS pediatric estimates compounded by challenges in identifying children infected with HIV through aggressive programmatic pediatric treatment targets. The purpose of this satellite is to draw key actors to discuss: progress towards pediatric 95-95-95, experiences of countries who are closer to pediatric epidemic control and MOH experience as a custodian of pediatric HIV programmes.
