Medicine has largely answered the question of whether a mother living with HIV can protect her child from the virus — under proper care, transmission falls below 2 percent. Yet children continue to be born with HIV, not because the science has failed, but because the systems that carry science into human lives remain uneven and fragile. A new research supplement from the Journal of the International AIDS Society, assembled by scholars across three continents, turns its attention to this gap — not the gap in knowledge, but the gap between what is possible and what is actually happening in clini

Households in resource-limited settings face continued barriers to accessing HIV prevention and treatment services despite medical breakthroughs, potentially perpetuating health disparities and economic costs from untreated infections.
Governments and international organizations may need to increase funding for maternal HIV programs, improve antiretroviral drug distribution in low-resource regions, strengthen adherence support systems, and address healthcare infrastructure gaps to achieve elimination targets.
