The charity says children are being overlooked in the global fight against HIV and Aids.
Unicef says only 5% of HIV-positive children get medical help, and fewer than 10% of the 15 million already orphaned by Aids get financial support.
Unicef's executive director Ann Veneman said children were the 'invisible face' of a very visible disease and were missing out on the help that adults received.
'It is critical that the world unite for children and unite against Aids. The size of the problem is staggering, but the scale of the response has been inadequate,' she said."
