NEW YORK, USA, 30 November 2009 Combating the effects of HIV and AIDS on vulnerable families and providing hardship protection for mothers and children at risk are the focus of 'Children and AIDS: Fourth Stocktaking Report 2009', which was released today in New York.

Published jointly by UNAIDS, the UN Population Fund, UNICEF and the World Health Organization, the report finds that preventing the transmission of HIV from mother to child is key to reducing the impact of the pandemic and that the global economic crisis has been especially hard on those struggling with the effects of HIV and AIDS.
