Could you know anyone who got HIV from their mom? Maybe, but probably not. In 1992, 855 babies were born with HIV in America. In 2005, there were 57 babies born with HIV in America. Fortunately for us, perinatal HIV is really rare now because we have access to medical care. CDC has all the info on American babies born with HIV http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/perinatal/ But for worldwide numbers it's different because you have to consider Africa and Asia. There are no solid statistics for the number of babies born with HIV worldwide, but UNAIDS does have figures to show how many people with hIV are under the age of 15. At the end of 2002, an estimated 3.2 million children worldwide under age 15 had HIV. For more on that, check out http://www.thebody.com/content/treat/art6573.html Without medications, the chances of a mother passing HIV to her baby are about 1 in 3. With medications, you can reduce those odds almost to
zero.
