Explain why the rate of mother-to-child transmission of HIV has dropped in recent years.
What will be an ideal response?
The rate of mother-to-child transmission of HIV has dropped in recent years as scientists have learned more about HIV. The use of cesarean delivery as well as prescribing anti-HIV drugs to the mother during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, and to the infant for the first 6 weeks of life, has reduced mother-to-child HIV transmission to less than 2% in the United States and Europe (from over 20%). Aggressive treatment may further reduce the transmission of HIV to newborns and research suggests that it may even induce remission
