Introduction[edit | edit source]
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission from mother to child can happen in utero, during labor, or after birth through breastfeeding. The World Health Organization estimates that without intervention, the rate of HIV transmission from an HIV-positive mother to her child during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or breastfeeding ranges from 15% to 45%. However, the risk of mother-to-child transmission has been significantly reduced as a result of early detection, effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), appropriate delivery management, and breastfeeding avoidance.
