Answer 2

HIV infected, woman, usually have a high risk of transferring this disease to the baby. There is however, a chance that the baby can be HIV negative. There are a lot of factors
involved, to detailed to list. But in all instances the mother needs and usually by law, will have an HIV test done in the early stages of pregnancy. This will determine the opt care the doctors need to take with mother and child. C' section maybe done, to minimize the risk of infection through the birth canal. It can with proper medical care be prevented, but there are no guarantees. The chance of infecting the baby are much higher if pre-natal AIDS care is not done. Your physician must maintain confidentiality in all circumstances, only the statistical number will be recorded.

Answer 3

It really depeneds on a couple of things...

if the baby is born vaginal or a sesection...

Here is why, the baby, might not have been introuduced to the HIV, at the time of conseption, and was developed in the placenta without being introudced to it.. now with the baby might have been concived while the parents where infected thus giving the baby HIV, now if u have a baby vaginal and the baby isnt infected at the time of birth the baby has a good chance of getting it, and if both parents had the baby at the time of conseption both knowing the had HIV they shouldnt have had the baby at all... or plan to because it isnt worth it to make the baby have health problems and such...


Good Luck

Answer 4

It's possible, but:

HIV is transmitted through direct contact with the blood or body fluid of someone who is infected with the virus.

The three main ways the HIV virus is passed to a very young child are:

while the baby develops in the mother's uterus (intrauterine)
at the time of birth
during breastfeeding

Answer 5

Well they should avoid having kids , as the rate of infection in kids is very very high when born with a HIV+ father or mother

Answer 6

It sounds like you or your partner has hiv , hiv is contracted through blood or fluids it is possible for your partner to give youhiv while producing the child. Also remember that this disease may not show up for a couple of years.

Answer 7

yes they can, it's a more fragile situation than a normal pregnancy, but I have seen/heard that it can happen.

There was a story of one the first boys known to have HIV, he is grown up, married and has 2 sons. (the children and wife are negative)

saw it on dateline or another one of those shows just this past year.

Answer 8

Absolutely. I know someone who has had two perfectly healthy children. It's certainly not wise to try to have children if you know you're infected, but it can happen without the children becoming infected.

Answer 9

Magic Johnson and his wife Cookie have a child that was born HIV neg.

Answer 10

Yes. With newer drugs being available now the risk of transmission of the disease to the baby can be greatly reduced.

Answer 11

if the parents are infected and a baby is about to be born..obviously the genes is going to effect the child too
