A member asked:
Would a newborn baby be at any risk living with someone infected with the hiv virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Unless being breast fed by an hiv+ mother or sexually abused a newborn baby is unlikely to acquire HIV from casual contact with an hiv+ person. This is not a disease which is easy to get. It requires some form of intimate contact.
