Did anyone else watch SBS, Cutting Edge, last night? It was on two women who were HIV positive and pregnant. Followed them through to post birth. It was said that there is less risk of transfer of the virus if baby is born by caesarean. They also said it was safer if baby was bottle fed, which makes sense if the mothers milk will pass on the virus. Can anyone enlighten me on why this is the case? Fortunately both babies were born HIV negative and there mothers were continuing to be drug free. Statistics at the end were that 25% of pregnant women in Sth Africa are HIV positive, and most cannot receive medication due to governments continuing disbelief that the disease exists.
