Abstract
Transmission of HIV infection from mother to child may occur before, during or after delivery. Estimates of the rate of vertical transmission range from 15-20% in Europe to 25-35% in Africa. Mother-to-child transmission is associated with progression of disease in the mother, severe prematurity and breastfeeding. The association with mode of delivery needs further investigation. Attention is now being given to intervention to reduce mother-to-child transmission of HIV infection.Entities:
