Quantity per order: 50 (Shrink wrapped bundle)
Women who are HIV positive can pass HIV to their babies during pregnancy, during delivery, or through breast-feeding. According to the CDC, mother-to-child transmission is the most common way children become infected with HIV--nearly all AIDS cases in U.S. children are because of mother-to-child transmission. Yet not all women will pass HIV along to their babies, and the odds will be lowered if the mother receives treatment during pregnancy.
"Pregnancy and the HIV Test" explains these basic facts for patients and emphasizes the importance of HIV testing for pregnant women. The message for your patients: knowing whether or not you have HIV can help you take important steps to protect your baby.
