Response from Dr. Remien
 Intimate partners are capable of passing on illnesses to each other, especially STDs, regardless of their HIV status. The only way a fetus can be infected with HIV is if the pregnant mother is HIV+. An HIV+ woman is capable of giving birth to an unifected child, especially if she is getting appropriate prenatal care and taking medications as prescribed by her physician. |
