If you have HIV, your baby can get HIV several ways: during pregnancy, during labor and delivery, or during breast feeding. Most babies get infected with HIV during labor and delivery. There may be less of a chance of passing HIV to your baby if you have a cesarean delivery (a C-section). Talk about this with your doctor.
