Depends: In the underdeveloped world this is commonplace, with more than 40% of newborns to untreated mothers acquiring the disease. In countries like the US where the mother is treated with antivirals the transfer rate drops below 5%. Access to care and adherence to necessary treatment plans can produce variations in outcome.
