In Iran 8% of HIV- infected cases are women. Since most of them are young and in childbearing ages, in case of becoming pregnant and not receiving preventive measures, they can infect their child. Without Preventive measures transmission rate is 15 to 45 percent. Several factors such as sever stage of HIV and AIDS ,CD4 low count, high viral loud, acute retroviral phase, STDs, vaginal delivery, ...

Mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1.

After reviewing the evidence on the relation of vertical transmission of HIV to stage of infection in the mother, I developed a stochastic model of transmission in which the probability of transmission per week is proportional to the virus load in the mother. The virus load in different stages of the infection is measured by viral RNA levels or tissue culture infectious virus levels in plasma. ...
