Answers:
Sadly the fate of the child depends on what country their mother lives in and what kind of medical care she has had!. Healthy uninfected children are born everyday to HIV infected mothers when there is proper medical treatment!. In areas where there is more poverty or social stigma attached to the disease women are less likely to get the care they need to protect their unborn child!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It a child's mother was HIV positive during the pregnancy it means there's a 25% chance of the infection being transmitted to the baby!.

However, if the mother is started on anti-viral meds during pregnancy and then has an AZT i!.v!. during labor the risk is reduced to less than 10%!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If the mother is taking medication and doing everything right, there is a good chance the baby can be born free from the disease!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
