 AB    The increasing numbers of children born to HIV-infected women poses
       formidable problems for maternal and child health programs throughout
       the world. Between 20% and 40% of these children will be infected with
       HIV and most are expected to die by the age of 5 years as a result. The
       vast majority of the uninfected children will be orphaned before age 15
       years as their mothers and fathers die of AIDS. By the late 1990s,
       several hundred thousand children will be born annually to HIV-infected
       women in developing countries, with the majority in sub-Saharan Africa
       and Asia compared with a few thousand in North America.
