placenta bleeding and mother-to child HIV transmission Jul 28, 2007 I am 16 weeks pregnancy and I am bleeding, I understand its coming from the placenta which wants to detach from the uterus. I understand mother to child HIV transmission may occur during pregnancy. I have yet to go for HIV test and if positive will go on ARVS. I am worried wont this bleeding from placenta cause the HIV to be transmitted to my unborn baby? |

| Response from Dr. Frascino
 Hello, Not necessarily. However, I do suggest you get HIV tested without further delay. If positive, you'll need to be under the care of an HIV specialist as well as an HIV-knowledgeable obstetrician. Don't delay. Get tested now. Dr. Bob | ||||||||
