Response from Dr. Luzuriaga
 The risk of transmitting the virus decreases with decreasing viral load and is lowest when mothers have a viral load under 1000 copies/ml plasma. Antiretroviral therapy of mother and infant markedly reduces the risk of transmission and is recommended for all pregnant HIV positive women. |
