HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS damages cells of the immune system, making it difficult to fight infections and certain cancers. Women can pass the virus to their fetus during pregnancy; transmission also can occur during labor and giving birth or through breastfeeding.
For an HIV+ woman not being treated for HIV, the chance of passing the virus to her child is about 25% during pregnancy, labor and delivery. If she breastfeeds her infant, there is an additional 12% chance of transmission.
