Hiv infection during vaginal delivery?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: You cannot get HIV from having a vaginal delivery unless you are in contact with contaminated equipment at time of delivery.

What is the question: Are you HIV + and asking if your baby can be hiv+? Or are you concerned that delivering vaginally will subject you to risk of HIV infection? If the latter, don't worry. You do not get HIV in that fashion. Only sexually or by blood transfer (transfusion, needle sharing, transplants, etc.) rephrase your question.
