Protecting the Next Generation
The U.K.'s Department for International Development funds the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation to reduce the transmission of HIV from pregnant mothers to their babies, a critical step in helping stop the spread of the disease. The program provides antiretroviral (ARV) drugs to HIV-positive pregnant women before and after they give birth. Now 5 years old, Josphat is HIV negative because his mother Patience, who has the virus, took ARVs while she was pregnant.
