or further discussion, see the Emergency Plan’s September 2005 Report to Congress, "Focusing on Our Future: Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Pediatric HIV/AIDS," available at www.pepfar.gov. Issues and Challenges Approximately 2.3 million children under age 15 are liv- ing with HIV/AIDS, and a majority live in the 15 focus countries of the Emergency Plan. HIV-positive children are especially vulnerable: without treatment, the majority of infected children die before they are two years of age. When prevention fails, the cost is enormous in terms of human suffering, and there are also many obstacles to providing pediatric HIV treatment, which is more com- plicated and expensive than adult treatment. This is par- ticularly true among the youngest children, who are at the highest risk of death from AIDS, but are also difficult to diagnose and provide with appropriate antiretroviral (ARV) drug formulations.
