This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' commitment to ending pediatric HIV and AIDS worldwide, with a particular focus on preventing mother-to-child transmission. The resolution highlights that approximately 1.4 million children are living with HIV globally, with 86 percent in Sub-Saharan Africa, and that without treatment, most infected children die by age five. However, the good news is that when mothers living with HIV receive proper treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding, the risk of passing HIV to their babies drops to less than 5 percent. The resolution celebrates progress made since 2002, noting that treatment coverage for pregnant women with HIV has jumped from 17 percent in 2005 to 84 percent in 2024, and that nearly 5.5 million babies have been born HIV-free thanks to prevention programs. The resolution calls on the U.S. government—particularly through programs like PEPFAR (the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief)—to continue and expand these efforts by ensuring women and children have access to HIV testing, counseling, life-saving medicines, and new long-acting prevention drugs. It also emphasizes the need to address broader issues like gender equality and social barriers that prevent people from accessing these critical health services.
