The United Nations said the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) had called for accelerated and urgent expansion of treatment and prevention programs for adolescents of both sexes at a time where the number of deaths related to HIV and AIDS had slowed considerably.

Some 76 adolescents or adolescents are at risk of dying each day (about 360,000 by 2030) if no additional investment is available in existing HIV prevention programs, medical diagnosis of injuries and treatment programs .

"The report reveals that the world is still far from the right track to eradicate AIDS among children and adolescents by 2030," said UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fur.

UNICEF estimates that nearly 700 adolescents aged 10 to 19 years are infected with HIV every day, the equivalent of an injury every two minutes.
