Can a child born to a mother and a father with AIDS have a child with AIDS?
How can I put this one, it's actually rather complicated.
But the simple answer is this, because AIDS is an infectious disease, not a genetically inherited disease, so it is not passed directly from father to child.
However, during the process of conception, if the father transmits to the mother through sexual intercourse, the mother is at risk of transmitting to the child through vertical transmission.
Of course, this is not to say that if the mother is infected, the fetus will definitely be infected, but there is a certain probability. Studies have shown that if an hiv-positive mother doesn't do a mother-to-child blockade, the chances of the baby being infected are about 20 to 45 percent. And 5% to 10% of these babies are infected during pregnancy, 10% to 15% during labor or delivery, and 5% to 20% during breastfeeding.
So if the mother is unfortunate enough to be infected by the father, how can she avoid transmitting the infection to the fetus? The mother should start antiviral treatment as early as possible under the guidance of the doctors at the sentinel hospital, ensure compliance with the medication and closely monitor the viral load. At the time of delivery, the mother should choose to have a normal delivery or a caesarean section under the guidance of the doctor at the sentinel hospital, depending on the status of the viral load monitoring. Because of the risk of infecting the baby with breast milk, it is usually not recommended that HIV-positive mothers breastfeed their babies, especially if they have a detectable viral load. If the mother insists on breastfeeding, she must continue to take antiviral medication and monitor her viral load, and it is recommended that she breastfeed her baby for no longer than 6 months. After the birth of the baby, prophylactic treatment with different combinations of drugs will be chosen according to the mother's condition and the baby's nucleic acid test.
If the father has not infected the mother, then there is no possibility of the child becoming infected, because daily contact between the father and the child is not contagious.
Does that mean that hiv positive fathers can't have babies? The answer is no, hiv positive fathers have the same chance of having healthy babies.
How exactly? Positive fathers need to adhere to antiviral therapy, and when the viral load in the body is consistently undetectable, there is essentially no possibility of transmission through sexual intercourse, which is now an internationally recognized U=U concept, with the first U meaning Undetectableequal and the second U meaning Untransmittable. So a father who is persistently undetectable with viral load through antiviral therapy is not transmitting to the mother. The usual criterion for being consistently undetectable is three consecutive undetectable tests at 3 months intervals between each test.
Of course, if the mother is still concerned, she can also take pre-exposure prophylaxis by taking two components of antiviral therapy under the guidance of the doctor at the sentinel hospital before preparation for pregnancy, which is applicable to whether the father's disease load is maintained at 0 or not. If the father's load is maintained at 0 through continuous antiviral therapy, or if the mother is effectively prevented from being infected by pre-exposure prophylaxis in conjunction with the mother's treatment, then there is no need to worry about the fetus being infected.



This is still a risk, to get pregnant, you definitely have to have unprotected intercourse, and in the process the man may infect the woman, and the woman may become pregnant and then transmit it to the fetus through mother-to-child transmission.
Of course, it is also possible to prevent the woman from becoming infected by giving the man antiviral treatment to lower his viral load, which also prevents the fetus from becoming infected; the father is not directly infectious to the fetus, nor is he infectious after birth, by general life contact.
Two couples, one of which is HIV-infected, should take protective measures, daily sex with condoms to avoid sexual transmission, if you want to have a child, you need to have unprotected intercourse, which must be under the guidance of a professional doctor, but also to have a healthy child.
No, it won't. With today's medicine, go to the infectious disease department of a regular tertiary care hospital. Or go to your local CDC for advice. Or failing that, ask the doctor where the patient is getting his medication. All are able to give you a comprehensive program. Online counseling can not face the patient, do not understand the patient's situation, is not very recommended that you do it.
Will a healthy mother with a father suffering from AIDS give birth to a baby suffering from AIDS? In fact, modern people attach great importance to eugenics, so they will all undergo relevant tests before pregnancy. If a woman suffers from a disease, it may have a greater impact on the fetus, but when a man suffers from certain diseases, it may also cause harm to the fetus in the woman's womb, such as the question mentioned by the subject, "My husband suffers from AIDS, will the baby born also suffer from AIDS, and can I still have a child?" Let's find out together today!

When the husband is suffering from AIDS, it is better not to keep the child conceived by the wife. Usually, men with AIDS are afraid to have children because of the possibility of passing on the disease to the next generation. However, with the rapid advancement of science and technology, the latest sperm washing technology has been developed abroad, which can filter the virus in the sperm of men with AIDS and enable them to give birth to healthy children without transmitting the disease to the next generation. It is believed that this technology will be available in China in the near future, so that men with AIDS will have the opportunity to give birth to their offspring.
So, what is sperm wash? Specifically, sperm washing is when the doctor cleans the patient's semen through a series of medical technical means, separates the healthy sperm from the semen, and then uses IVF technology to fertilize the sperm eggs, and then transplants the fertilized eggs into the mother's body, which ensures the health of the mother and the embryo.

Although many viruses may be present in the semen of a person with AIDS, the sperm may be healthy, and this sperm can be used to fertilize the woman by using advanced sperm washing techniques to completely separate the sperm from the virus. This sperm can then be used to impregnate the woman, followed by in vitro fertilization (IVF), which successfully prevents the embryo from being infected with HIV.
However, generally speaking, we do not recommend HIV-infected persons to give birth to children because, apart from medical issues, there are also ethical issues involved. If normal conception is carried out without any protection, the HIV-infected person may transmit the disease to the woman through sexual intercourse, and even if the woman is willing, the child may still be infected with HIV, which would be extremely unfair to the child.
Good life from the beginning of health, the beginning of health, health science professional media!
Is it the new coronavirus or HIV that is serious? HIV is currently incurable, will it become an extinct disease of the human race? If a person is infected with HIV and does not take medication, the virus will endlessly replicate and attack the body's immune system to mutate these. Therefore, if a person infected with HIV takes medicine, it will control the replication and mutation of these, and the transmission of HIV is through blood, sex, and so on. HIV blood does not survive in fruits and vegetables. If an HIV-infected person injects blood into all animals, it will live and spread. Some mammals, such as rats, rabbits, monkeys, snakes, dogs, wild boars. In the river turtle, crab, etc., flying in the sky, running on the ground inside all the animals, the animal reproduces again to increase the number of animals will be infinite replication. Outside running animals infected with HIV will not be able to take medication, can not be controlled, will be infinite replication and mutation, for fear that the years will be brought to the society of mankind may be no cure. So HIV is transmitted in animals, more terrible than human-to-human transmission, more serious pathogenic. HIV patients should never go this way. So we have to protect the privacy of HIV infected patients, care and care well. I have been working in a village health center for eight years. HIV-infected people had better farm less, for fear that when they accidentally have trauma, by chance they also have trauma on the farmed animals, for fear of unintentionally infecting the animals. Fear of giving humans no cure? Free distribution of HIV poisons in order not to scourge infected to others, infected people should never go to harm others. There are also a lot of HIV self-financed drugs, expensive, but some better than free drugs antiviral effects and fewer side effects, the average poor people can not afford to treat, take up ah ...... HIV may be on the human immune system is constantly harming, the more laborious and hard work, it will be invisible the more serious injuries to the body, infected not only to rest well, but also eat well! Nutrition to keep up, etc.
There is currently no cure for AIDS, but AIDS is not a disease that can wipe out the human race. I once read a study that simulated the spread of AIDS and the number of human beings, and the program, after several decades of calculations, found that the spread of AIDS to death did not have the same effect on human beings as the influenza virus and some other infectious diseases, such as the bubonic plague.
Although AIDS cannot be cured, the method of its transmission has now been clearly found, and with the vigorous popularization of science, the way of transmission of AIDS, even in the rural villages of the doctor's bulletin board inside, can be said to be widely known.
More and more people know that HIV is transmitted from mother to child, blood to blood and sexually. At the same time, more and more people know that the use of condoms can effectively prevent the spread of HIV. For those who are currently infected with HIV, it is also possible to try to prevent the fetus from becoming infected with HIV by means of interruption.
Although it can not be cured, but can achieve effective prevention, and for people who have been infected with AIDS, but also through the antiretroviral treatment to control the development of the disease, to improve the quality of life of patients, is to prolong the life of patients.
So although AIDS cannot be cured, it can be effectively prevented, and there are also medicines to control the condition, is to prolong life. So AIDS will not be the cause of our human extinction at all. As long as you clean yourself up, you can basically do away with AIDS.
