And what about the potential for passing HIV to the children during birth?

Tiger, you are scum.

"And what about the potential for passing HIV to the children during birth?"

That's a good point. I think, however, that it's standard practice of care to do an HIV screen for mother's delivering in the hospital. I could be wrong. I'm not a physician, but I believe I've read that. Hopefully the kids are safe.

If you're interested, there's some fascinating information at CDC about HIV transmission in utero. It's quite sobering.

Detecting and treating HIV infection early can make a big difference in the health of the baby.
