There are several million HIV-infected children worldwide. In Ukraine, 99% of infants are infected with HIV through perinatal transmission. A rapid progression of the spread has been noted - 15-20% of cases result in AIDS or death by the age of four. In cases of slower progression, 75-80% have an average survival rate of 8-9.5 years. Unfortunately, scientists report that not only changes in the environment, but also social upheavals and war indirectly lead to an increase in infectious diseases.
