- Each day, nearly 2,400 women and girls become infected with HIV/AIDS
- HIV/AIDS is the world’s leading cause of death in women ages 15-44, and a leading cause of death among pregnant women and mothers

However, that risk drops to below 5% with effective interventions during the periods of pregnancy, labour, delivery and breastfeeding
