Babies with actual AIDS, i.e. who have the disease of AIDS beyond being merely HIV-positive, have a fairly low survival rate without aggressive treatment because they have essentially no immune system and are subject to severe infections from pathogens that would not at all bother a person with a healthy immune system.

Sadly yes, the course of HIV and AIDS is particularly aggressive in children. About 50 per cent of children who acquire HIV from their mothers die before their second birthday. Preventing Mother to Child Transmission of HIV is one of the key ways UNICEF has been fighting the disease.
