Start Free, Stay Free, AIDS Free aims to galvanize global momentum around a shared and ambitious agenda to build on the progress achieved under the Global Plan towards the elimination of new HIV infections among children by 2015 and keeping their mothers alive. The Global Plan resulted in remarkable progress, reducing new HIV infections among children by 60% in 21 of the most affected countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Yet the job is far from done. In 2015, 150 000 [110 000–190 000] children became newly infected with HIV globally, 110 000 [78 000–150 000] of whom lived in the 21 Global Plan priority countries.
