According to the stats of UN, every minute a baby is born with HIV and most of them belong to sub-Saharan Africa, the low-income country. To eliminate it among babies by 2015, the UN and the US government together have decided to launch an initiative for the same.
This new campaign will be applied to HIV-positive pregnant women, and this way among their babies’ chances of HIV will be cut down to less than 5%.
For treating around 15 million women, the total cost as estimated is $2.5bn (£1.5bn).
