Without proper treatment, half of the 370,000 children newly infected with HIV last year will die before they reach their second birthday. But very few medicines are designed and adapted specifically for children, and are affordable and practical to use in the places where they live. The Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) recently announced a new project to help develop appropriate HIV drugs for children.

For more information, visit msf.org to find the MSF web site in your home country. If you have questions or comments, send an e-mail to msfpodcast@msf.org . MSF, or Doctors Without Borders, is an independent medical humanitarian aid organization that delivers emergency assistance to people affected by wars, epidemics, and natural or man-made disasters in more than 60 countries around the world. Go to DNDi.org for more information on the Drugs For Neglected Diseases initiative.
