If a mother gives birth, and she has h.i.v. ,why is it so that the child did not have it when born?

Answer 1

But it's true that sometimes the newborn WILL be infected with HIV, at least 25 % of the time without antiviral therapy to the mother. Antivirals (AZT) can reduce the chance to 8%. There is no way to know ahead of time whether or not an infant will be infected with the HIV virus before it is born.

Answer 2

Children born to mothers infected with HIV have a 25-30% chance of contracting the virus. As well, every child born to an HIV infected mother will test positive for HIV for 6-18 months. The most accurate testing is done after 18 months. There are three ways a baby can get HIV: during pregnancy, during labor and delivery, or during breast feeding. Most babies get infected with HIV during labor and delivery and a c-section can reduce the chance.

Answer 3

This is the odds from an HIV positive mother to child has a 30% , if the mother is introduced to treatment Highly active retroviral therapy HARRT drops it down to 8% , If at birth the mother has a C-section and does not breast-feed drops down to 2%. Remember body fluids are Blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. There is no HIV present in amphibiotic fluids the surround the fetus Also should be noted that the infant will be on treatment for 18 months of their lives and then retested This is the odds from an HIV positive mother to child has a 30% , if the mother is introduced to treatment Highly active retroviral therapy HARRT drops it down to 8% , If at birth the mother has a C-section and does not breast-feed drops down to 2%.

Answer 4

The newborn definitely will carry the gene of the virus which means when the child is an adult and decides to have children can very well pass it on to their children as the virus or the gene.

Answer 5

The womb protects the fetus from foreign matter, like diseases.

Answer 6

most of the time they will have it
