U.S. President Barack Obama is scheduled to preside at an event in Washington Wednesday in observance of World AIDS Day.

In a proclamation issued late Tuesday, Mr. Obama pledged support for the 33 million people worldwide who live with HIV and AIDS.  He also recommitted his administration＇s efforts to build on strides made in fighting HIV and preventing the spread of the virus.

On Tuesday, the U.N. children＇s agency (UNICEF) released a report saying a generation of babies could be born free of HIV if the international community steps up efforts to provide universal access to HIV prevention, treatment and social protection.

UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake says proper testing and medical care that includes antiretroviral drugs could prevent virtually all pregnant women from passing the HIV virus to their newborns.

Tuesday＇s report says says millions of women and children in poor countries have fallen though the cracks of HIV services either due to their gender, economic status or education.

Meanwhile, U.S. government researchers say guidelines making AIDS tests part of routine care have helped more Americans get tested.  The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say nearly 83 million Americans have been tested for HIV.  But CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden says 200,000 Americans are infected with the virus and do not know it.
