HIV-positive mother and baby are well
30.08.2009
A healthy baby is born to an HIV-positive mother at San Francisco General Hospital. With timely diagnosis and treatment, the chances of an HIV-positive mother passing on the virus to her child can be reduced dramatically.
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition in which the immune system begins to fail, leading to life-threatening infections. The four major ways of HIV transmission are:
- unsafe sex
- contaminated needles
- breast milk
- childbirth, through an infected mother
