Why can a mother be HIV positive and not her baby?

0

The blood circulation of the fetus is completely separate from the mother. Giving anti-HIV/AIDS medications to the mother during the third trimester of pregnancy will reduce the risk of HIV transmission to the baby. In addition, birth by caesarian section caries less risk of transmission to the baby than vaginal delivery.
