A pregnant 25-year-old woman with known HIV infection presents to an obstetric office for a 20-week prenatal visit. This is her first pregnancy and thus far it has been uncomplicated. The patient was first diagnosed as HIV-positive seven years prior and she has remained asymptomatic. She has been compliant with her antiretroviral therapies. The patient reports that the father of her child is not HIV-positive. 1) The patient asks the nurse what the risk is of her child being HIV-positive. What is the best response by the nurse? A) The child will be HIV-positive and there is no way to prevent transmission. B) Since HIV is passed through the father, the child will be HIV negative. C) It is possible that HIV will be passed on to your child, but you can decrease the likelihood of transmission by compliance with antiretroviral therapy. D) Fetal immunity will ward off HIV during pregnancy, but the child should not breastfeed.
