For her baby's health, each expectant mother should not hesitate to accept HIV screening, reasons aren as follow;
HIV can infect the baby transplacentally, in the birth canal and from breast feeding. The risk of infection is at 30-45%. About 90% women do not know they are infected with HIV,and without screening their baby will be infected because of lack of preverntive treatment.
Current know effective treatment include: prophylacic antiretroviral drugs during pregnancy, caesarean section for delivery and use of breast milk substitutes for feeding; these can prevent HIV transmission, and reduce the infection rate from 45% to 20% or less.
Through drugs therapy the health of HIV--infected mothers could also be improved.
The human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) does not choose a specific target to infect, every woman, even a monogamous one is at risk of infection without knowing it.
Requests for her sexual partner to use a condom is a woman's right, please protect yourself from HIV infection.
Drug addicts; don't share needles, containers or diluents with others,so to avoid HIV infection through the blood.
