Women who have HIV can transmit the virus to their babies, but the transmission rate is extremely low, because the women can be given meds and also have C sections done to reduce the risk of transmission!.
These days, treatment can help people with HIV live longer, healthier than they could before, and treatment can increase the amount of time between diagnosis of HIV and diagnosis of AIDS!. It is impossible to say when or if a person with HIV will develop AIDS, because that depends on so many variables, such as how the person responds to the virus, how they respond to treatment, how well they follow treatment directions, and how healthy they were before they were infected!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
