(who.int)
  • The final draft has taken into account the comments received and complements the global health-sector strategy for HIV/AIDS. (who.int)
Transmission3
  • Since the discovery of HIV, scientists have made major inroads in understanding modes of transmission, infectivity, and pathogenicity. (netce.com)
  • Due to reduced rates of vertical transmission of HIV, there is an increasing population of children born to HIV-infected mothers who remain uninfected. (bvsalud.org)
