Need a straight answer part 2 Sep 27, 2003 I suspect contracting HIV myself last month, and potentially transmitted it to my 10 mounts old baby (by direct blood contact). As you mentioned early treatment for babies is critical. I will get tested by a PCR test at the 4 and 8 weeks mark-line, and an antibody test at 12 weeks. From the early treatment view-point - Are my own tests sufficient or should I get my baby tested even if all my tests will be negative? Thank you for your answer |

Response from Dr. Luzuriaga
 If your tests are negative, there is no reason to test your child. |
