Further big drop in new HIV infections among children
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-20409360
The UN's latest assessment of global cases of HIV/Aids shows there has been a further drop in new infections among children.
There were 330,000 new infections in children last year - the figure is 24% lower than in 2009.
But the report by UNAids also warns "significant additional effort is required" if broader targets to tackle HIV/Aids are to be achieved by 2015.
The agency's director said the pace of progress was speeding up.
