I am pregnant but I do not have AIDs or any other STD for that matter. I was just curious like I said.

it's a 50/50 chance.
Contrary to popular logic a mother infected with the AIDS virus will not always transmit the disease to her offspring

The baby COULD get it. They have medications to prevent transmission from mother to child. Generally, the drug of choice while pregnant is AZT. In 80% of cases where the mother has taken AZT throughout her pregnancy, it was not transmitted to the infant.
I hope that this helps.

NO. the baby is in the womb but doctors can prescribe meds and deliver the baby carefully so the baby doesnt contract it. also, the baby's immune system is at its strongest at birth so in many cases it fights off the virus within a few days.
people answer questions just to answer them, not because they know the answer...

I'm no expert, but I think babies are most likely to develop HIV during the actual BIRTH. BUT Mothers who know they are HIV-positive can take steps to decrease the likelihood that their baby will get the disease. The first thing is to let your OBGYN/Nurse know that the mother is HIV-positive.

yes - mother and baby share the same blood.

I think so... through diffusion in the bloodstream.
