HIV DURING PREGNANCY

 

HIV during pregnancy is the presence of HIV in a woman while she is pregnant. Women with HIV or AIDS may transmit the disease/infection to their child during pregnancy, childbirth and even while breastfeeding.

The transmission of the infection could be prevented from mother to the child by appropriate treatment. The treatment could be initiated in women before, during, and after pregnancy. The born child is also given the medication temporarily to reduce the risk of infection. Since HIV may also be spread through breast milk, mothers are advised to not breastfeed the babies and take up alternate feeding methods like bottle feeding.

Around the world, especially in India, the topic of HIV is still a taboo. People are still not ready to talk freely on the topic of HIV which prevents the earlier detection and prevention of disease.
