Model 6: High & Low Risk
|
Pregnancy of women with HIV infection
High risk for the child. The pregnant woman can infect the child before, during and after its birth (during breastfeeding). However, comprehensive medical care can profoundly reduce the risk for the child. The HIV test is recommended for every woman and her partner, if they would like to have a child and cannot rule out the possibility of infection.
Get medical advice as early as possible!

Unprotected oral sex (men or women)
Risk exists. Infection is possible by taking seminal fluid carrying HIV into the mouth. Vaginal fluid can also contain HIV.
Advice: Avoid taking seminal or vaginal fluid into the mouth. Oral sex with a male only with a condom!
