Pediatric aids statistics?

In a situation when one or both parents has HIV/AIDS what are the chances their new born child will have been infected at birth or continue to be so? Links to official research would be appreciated. Not heresay. Thanks.

In the US: Each year, 1400-2200 infants acquire HIV infection by means of vertical (mother-to-infant) transmission. The HIV seroprevalence rate in pregnant women is as high as 0.3%. The seroprevalence of women infected with HIV is highest in the Northeast followed by the South. Perinatal HIV transmission rates are 25% and 4% in untreated women and treated women, respectively. HIV infection is the seventh leading cause of death in young children. In the United States, most children with AIDS live in metropolitan areas.

I hope this helps!!!!!!
