A member asked:
Is it possible to catch aids from a newborn baby who has aids from his mother?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No!: Hiv which causes aids is passed through exposure to HIV infected blood or sexually. In addition, if the baby was treated with medications during delivery the chance of the baby having HIV is very low. This makes it pretty hard for you to contract HIV from a baby.
