Likely many more than 1000 children were infected.

That said, hopefully the government of Pakistan is embarrassed enough to fund free treatment for this population. With treatment and compliance, HIV-positive people usually lead long, healthy lives.

I don't know if Pakistan really has the resources. Last I checked, they were a very young country in terms of average age of the citizens. Poverty is pretty widespread, from what I gather.
