A member asked:
Why do i need to take an hiv test in the third trimester?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Required by law: Some states require pregnant women to be tested for HIV. Transmission of HIV to the baby can be prevented by treating the mother. Many people infected with HIV do not know that they are infected.
