story on HIV+ women who choose to have children Jul 25, 2000 My name is Kristen. I am a reporter at a News Channel. I am working on a story about HIV+ women who choose to have children. I am looking for women who have and who are about to have children. I am also looking for medical information about lowering the risk of passing the disease on to infants. Thank you. |

Response from Dr. Jackson
 The best way to lower an HIV+ pregnant woman's risk of transmitting HIV to her baby is to start on effective combination antiretroviral therapy early in pregnancy, have a C-section, and do not breastfeed. Brooks Jackson, M.D. |
