UNICEF: On World AIDS day, striving for an "AIDS-free generation"

NEW YORK, USA, 1 December 2009 On the eve of World AIDS Day, the Fourth Annual Stocktaking Report was launched at the United Nations Secretariat, followed by a panel convened on the issue of Children Left Behind.

We dont require new technology breakthroughs or even new techniques that we dont know how to apply, said UNICEF Chief of HIV/AIDS and Associate Director of Programmes Jimmy Kolker. Its only a question of gains in coverage and then a much stronger emphasis on prevention.

Our goal isnt just to put more children on treatment, said Mr. Kolker. Our goal is to eliminate the need for that treatment by seeing an AIDS-free generation.
