Mother-to-child transmission is one of three ways HIV is transmitted. HIV transmission from mother to child can occur very early, from the first 3 months of pregnancy until the end of pregnancy.

Children who are exposed to HIV from their mothers will have special care and treatment. It is important to identify the child's condition, explain it to the family, and provide care instructions to help the child grow up healthy.

Up to now, there is still no definite answer to the question of whether HIV-infected mothers should breastfeed their babies or not. To minimize the risk of infection, it is necessary to apply measures to prevent HIV transmission from mother to child.

According to statistics, for every 100 pregnant mothers infected with HIV, 30 children will be born with HIV from their mothers. However, this number will be significantly reduced if we know how to prevent HIV transmission from mother to child.

Many studies have shown that if there are no preventive measures, the rate of HIV transmission from mother to child during breastfeeding can be up to 30%. If there are not enough conditions to feed the child with formula milk instead, it is mandatory to breastfeed the child completely and absolutely should not let the child drink both breast milk and formula milk, because this has the potential to infect the child with HIV.

Women infected with HIV during pregnancy have a very high rate of transmission to their children. Up to now, medicine has not found a way to completely cure this disease. HIV not only causes health problems but also greatly affects the development of the fetus in the womb.

Caring for a child born to an HIV-infected mother is much more difficult than caring for a normal child. There are many issues that need to be addressed and clearly oriented during the care process to help limit the possibility of transmitting the HIV virus from mother to child.

If a pregnant woman is infected with HIV, the chance of passing the virus to her baby is very high. However, if a pregnant woman is infected with HIV, if it is detected, she will be given medication and other steps that can significantly reduce the risk of transmitting HIV to her baby.

Pregnancy is a difficult, challenging but also extremely happy journey. For mothers who are unfortunately infected with HIV, the journey is even more difficult with countless worries about the health and future of the baby.

Pregnancy and childbirth are the natural responsibilities of every woman. With the development of modern medicine, HIV-infected women still have the right and ability to become mothers if they are actively supported, guided and apply methods to prevent HIV transmission from mother to child.
