Is it possible for a mother with HIV/AIDS not to pass it on to her child during birth?

can a mother with aids give birth to a child without passing the disease on?

Yes. I believe she should have a C-Section to minimize risks. Also, there are drugs to take that also make transmission less likely.

Yep. I saw a video on it once.

yes. only certain ppl have the gene to contract aids or hiv. hiv/aids is just another disease some ppl get it and others don't.

Yes it is- but I think the doc will have to do the C Section.

I believe she can now; it used to be that it was always passed to the newborn, but there's a way around it now. Try WebMD.com
