Sagot :
Combination therapy with HIV drugs (called antiretroviral therapy or ART) can prevent HIV transmission to babies and protect their health. Perinatal transmission of HIV is almost always preventable with good medical care.
Every pregnant woman should have her HIV tested and report test results to a pregnancy counselor. If a woman has not received prenatal care, she should request a prompt HIV test at the time of delivery. All newborns perinatally exposed to HIV should be given neonatal antiretroviral (ARV) medications to reduce her risk of perinatal infection and appropriate doses based on level of risk of infection. A suitable ARV regimen should be chosen. Prophylaxis with zidovudine (retrovir) is recommended for most infants exposed to HIV in utero to reduce the risk of vertical transmission. Beginning 8 hours after birth, these newborns should receive zidovudine at a dose of 2 mg/kg every 6 hours for at least 6 weeks.
