The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) published the 2023 global snapshot on HIV and supported progress and priorities for children, adolescents and pregnant women.

Nearly 98,000 adolescent girls aged 10-19 will be infected with HIV in 2022 – or 1,900 new infections every week, according to UNICEF's latest global snapshot on children living with HIV and AIDS, released ahead of World AIDS Day. While total infections among girls aged 10-19 have almost halved since 2010 – from 190,000 to 98,000 – last year girls were still twice as likely to be infected with HIV as boys. Globally, there were 270,000 new HIV infections among all children and adolescents aged 0-19 in 2022, bringing the total number of youth living with HIV to 2.6 million. In sub-Saharan Africa, HIV prevalence among adolescent girls and young women aged 10–24 is three times higher than their male counterparts. Progress toward ending AIDS remains slow, with one million deaths among children aged 0–19 years globally due to AIDS-related causes in 2022. 99,000 children and adolescents are dying, which is 15 percent of all AIDS-related deaths, even though this age group comprises only 7 percent.
