"Although HIV can be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding, there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of transmission. With appropriate medical care and treatment, the risk of transmitting HIV to your baby can be reduced to less than 1%. We can also provide antiretroviral medications to both you and your baby during pregnancy, labor, and delivery to further reduce the risk of transmission. We can discuss all of these options with you and provide you with the support and care you need to ensure the health and well-being of you and your baby."
