The International Aids Society says children with HIV and AIDS continue to suffer as a result of widespread discrimination.
UNAIDS says that of 3.2 million children under the age of 15 living with HIV, 2.4 million are not accessing antiretroviral therapy, approximately half the rate of adults.
The International Aids Society has announced a $2.7 million global funding boost for the treatment of children and adolescents infected with HIV.
The Society's Marissa Vicari told Peggy Giakoumelos, while access to medication is a major issue, so too is the stigma associated with HIV.
