Someone with aids giving birth..................

no.aids can definitely be passed to a child through birth.

No because the blood is running through the mother to the child. Unless the mother has not contracted aids yet, which would totally defeat the purpose of this question.

Yes, but chances are the virus will get through the placenta and infect the child.

l think it is possible not to pass on HIV if the mother is given the right medications throughout the pregnancy.

it is probably possible, but no worth the risk

it would probably be safest to get a surrogate mother or whatever

yes. but yet it isnt uncommen for it not to be passed on. it all depends on how strong the genes are that transfer to the baby.

Yes it is possible. If a woman is pregnant and diagnosed with AIDS when it is time to have her baby the doctor will deliver it through cesarean versus vaginal to further reduce the risk.

yes. separate blood supply & drugs can be used to reduce the risk of infection. however, breastfeeding is not an option.

yes aids can be giving to the child during birth.

Yes, there is a certain shot that the mother has to get before her child is born. l can not think of the name of it. If she does receive the shot then the child can be born free of HIV.

Actually, most of the time when a mother has HIV, the baby will not have it. About 1 in 3 children born to mothers with HIV will have the virus - which means 2 out of 3 will not.

However, 1 in 3 is still very high. But there r also drugs the mother can take which will help protect the baby even more. By taking the right drugs at the right time, it is possible to lower the chance that the child will have HIV. It is very important that a mother with HIV talks to a professional health provider about this; so they can advise her on where to get the right medication to protect the baby.

depends if both of the parents have aids.

but usually its a 1/3 chance that the kid will have aids.
witch is good cause the majority favors the healthy side:)

but really it depends on the virus and how far it has come and how the body has reacted to it.
thats something if you wanted to know a 100% the chances, you would ask a doctor specialized in birth and what not.

Yes. It is possible for HIV (virus that can lead to AIDS) to be transmitted from mother to child at birth, BUT if the mother is given medications during pregnancy, and has a C-section, the risk of transmission is significantly reduced. In these cases, risk of transmission is about 1%.

Transmission of HIV from mother to baby can also occur through breastfeeding, so women who have HIV should not breastfeed their babies.

YES IT IS DEFINITELY POSSIBLE!!!
but it is a very big chance!! Congrats on ur upcoming arrival! it is like gambling though.. anything is possible!
as hard as it may be the dice have been rolled so really try not to worry to much about it!
for right now just live in the moment this is the only life u have & I'd hate to have never experienced being a mother!!
if baby turns up negative then wonderful!! if baby turns up positive then l am sure this is something u guys will be able to deal with together
l know no body wants aids (sorry u were chosen) but if l had to choose between never existing or having aids I'd definately choose being here with aids..
Good Luck To You And Your Baby!!
let me add that l had traumatic deliveries with both of my babies where they had lacerations on their heads from the vacuum so a C-SECTION would be less of a risk for baby!!

yes.there r medicines now that enable that.as long as the mother is started on them early enough in her pregnancy.

Many people r misinformed about the risks of perinatal HIV transmission, including many healthcare providers. Some people mistakenly believe that all babies born to HIV positive women will be infected, or that HIV positive women r too sick to have healthy pregnancies & give birth to healthy children. Many people also don’t know that there r ways to greatly reduce the risk of mother-to-child HIV transmission. About 25% of children born to HIV positive women who receive no treatment or interventions against perinatal HIV transmission become infected with HIV—that means an average of 25 out of 100 babies, or 1 in 4, can pick up HIV from their mothers during pregnancy, birth, or afterward from breastfeeding. But perinatal HIV infection rates can drop to as low as 1% or 2% for babies whose mothers r able to use combination antiretroviral therapy during pregnancy, AZT or nevirapine prophylaxis during labor & after birth, & choose the birth option that’s safest, according to maternal viral load levels, for both mother & baby.

You r a good place for ur baby to grow, & u deserve respectful care. If ur HIV care specialist or prenatal care provider tries to dissuade u from becoming pregnant or recommends u terminate a wanted pregnancy, get another provider! With good care & support, ur risk of transmitting HIV to ur fetus or baby is very low. Don’t let that worry stop u if u want to be a mother.

How perinatal HIV transmission happens

A fetus (your baby from 8 weeks gestation until birth) or newborn can become infected with HIV through contact with virus in their mother’s blood, cervical & vaginal secretions, & breast milk. It’s the mom’s HIV status that matters, not the father’s—HIV transmission to babies is all about the virus in their mom’s fluids, not in their father’s semen. If the mom stays HIV negative throughout her pregnancy, there’s no risk to the baby even if the father is HIV positive.

No one knows the exact mechanisms involved in perinatal transmission, but it’s believed to occur three different ways:

Prenatally (in utero): Some babies acquire HIV because the virus crossed the placenta during pregnancy—this doesn’t happen very often, but it can. During pregnancy, the mother’s blood supply is connected to the fetal blood supply via the umbilical cord & placenta. The mother & the baby do not share the same blood supply, but sometimes HIV in the mother’s blood is able to cross the placenta & infect the baby. The following conditions can increase the risk of transmission during gestation:

Becoming infected with HIV during pregnancy. A person’s viral load is very high right after they acquire the virus, & a high viral load increases the transmission risk to the fetus.
Infections of the chorion, amniotic membranes, or reproductive tract. Sexually-transmitted vaginal infections like chlamydia, gonorrhea, & trichomoniasis can cause a spike in the pregnant woman’s viral load, which can in turn increase the risk of transmission to her fetus.
Placenta Previa. This is when the placenta grows over part or all of the cervix—a condition that can lead to heavy bleeding before or during labor. Placenta previa often corrects itself as the uterus expands during pregnancy.
At birth: During labor & delivery, the baby comes into contact with her/his mother’s blood & cervical/vaginal secretions while passing through the cervix & vagina. Research indicates that the majority of babies who pick up HIV infection from their mothers probably acquire the virus during the birth process.

During breastfeeding: There have been several documented cases in which HIV has been transmitted through breastfeeding. HIV has been isolated in breast milk, & the documented cases of transmission through breastfeeding indicate that the virus was passed through the milk rather than during gestation or the birth process. Blood from cracked nipples or breast infection (mastitis) may also be present during breastfeeding, & may contribute to the risk of infection.

The risk of perinatal transmission risk at any stage can be greatly reduced by:

Taking combination therapy during pregnancy to reduce maternal viral load.
Taking AZT during labor & birth to help protect the baby while it’s exposed to HIV in blood & cervical secretions.
Choosing the birth option that poses the least risk to both mother & baby—a normal vaginal birth, or an elective cesarean section (surgical birth).
Administering AZT to the newborn for up to six weeks after birth.
Bottle-feeding formula or breast milk from a milk bank instead of breastfeeding or bottle-feeding ur baby ur own breast milk.
Prenatal Care

You’ll receive the same prenatal care as an HIV negative woman, except for a few instances. You’ll be working either with a prenatal healthcare p

Yes. There is something, medicine, a shot, or some sort of procedure that can be done to lower the chances of it happening. l would definitely ask a doctor about the options.
