Cuba
is the first country to eliminate the transmission of the AIDS virus from
mothers to children, according to a statement released Tuesday by the World
Health Organization. Cuba had to meet a number of requirements in order to
receive the WHO validation, including having fewer than 50 children born with
HIV infections out of every 100,000 live births for one year. WHO also
recognized Cuba for eliminating the transmission of syphilis to children after
the country met a similar standard."
