If a pregnant woman tests positive for HIV, will her baby be born with HIV?

BEING HUMAN MEANS A SIMPLE LIFE WITH GOOD FAITH AND ACTION

If a pregnant woman tests positive for HIV,

will her baby be born with HIV?

In the United States and Europe, fewer than 2 babies in 100

born to mothers infected with HIV are infected with the

virus. is is because anti-HIV medications given to women

infected with HIV during pregnancy and delivery and to

their babies after birth help prevent

mother-to-child

transmission of HIV

. Another reason is that, in the United

States and Europe, mothers infected with HIV do not

breastfeed their babies. (For more information, see the

fact sheet series.)
