Neonatal HIV is when HIV is passed from a mother with HIV to their child during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding.[1]
Taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) in pregnancy and childbirth can prevent transmission of HIV to the baby.[2]
Worldwide over 14 million babies were exposed to HIV in 2018.[3] Around 90% were in sub-Saharan Africa, of which half came from South Africa, Uganda, Mozambique, Tanzania and Nigeria.[3]
