Can u mention three medicines that prevent HIV/AIDS transmission from an infected mother to her fetus during?

Don't know how urine therapy is going to help the trasnmission of HIV/AIDS. Boosting the immune system is great but aids is a highly specific virus that attacks T-cells and macrophages. Often times the fetus is taken as a forgeign entity and attacked by the mother's own body. By these very same leukocytes. I don't know how likely it is but I would assume the chance is very high for transmission to occur. We can't even cure AIds at this stage in time. How could we isolate the disease in one area of our body and keep it from others. It's not entirely feasible.

The best way is to use medication to lower the mother's viral load.  The chance spreading from mother to child if mother isn't on medication is 25%.  The chance if the mother's viral load is undetectable is less than 2%.  The medications used to lower the mother's viral load are called antiretroviral agents.  The most common antiretroviral agents used for this purpose are Zidovudine, Efavirenz and Nevirapine.  These agents are also given during birth and to the newborn to help prevent transmission. Hope this answers your question.

In the US HIV + mothers are given the drug AZT to reduce the risk of their child being born with HIV. The reason that babies can become HIV (-) after birth is that before birth, babies and mothers share the same blood supply and immune system (which is how the baby receives food and oxygen). However, after about 3 months after birth, the baby begins to develop its own immune system. If the baby avoided contracting the virus with the help of AZT, the baby will be HIV (-).\n\nThere used to be controversy in New York State, because all babies are given a blood test at birth. However, the tests were anonymous for statistical reasons and results of the blood tests were not revealed to the mother.  However, a baby testing at birth for HIV is not truly indicative of the baby being HIV, but that of the mother (because they shared the same immune system). Babies are tested again at about 6 months (when their own immune system kicks in) to see if they have truly contracted the virus.

yes AIDS is transmitted through body fluids, including vaginal secretions.

if the mother is doing drugs or drinking lots of alcohol then it can transfer to the baby.that in turn could harm the baby

The best answer seems to be that HIV CAN be trasmitted via breastmilk while the hepatitis B virus CANNOT.  For both, the most common modes of transmission are 1) via contact with bodily fluids such as blood, semen, or vaginal secretions during unprotected rectal (Yahoo bleeps the more common term starting with the letter "a") or vaginal sex with an infected person, and 2)contact with the blood of an infected person while sharing contaminated IV drug injection paraphernalia.  Infection of an infant by its infected mother happens, during childbirth for both HBV adn HIV and via breastmilk for HIV, but this is much less frequent in the United States than the two major modes described above.  In high prevalence regions vertical transmission from mother to infant occurs more frequently.\n\nHIV and HBV have in the past been transmitted via contaminated donated blood and blood products, but the blood supply has been screened for both for many years now and hence is believed to be entirely safe.  People undergoing kidney dialysis are probably still at some risk contracting HBV, but this can be prevented very easily by proper decontamination of implements used during the process.  HIV is found at very low levels in saliva and tears, but no confirmed instances of transmission via contact wthi these fluids has ever been documented.  And neither virus has ever been shown to be transmitted by mosquitoes.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, three main transmission routes of HIV have been identified:\n\n    * Sexual route. The majority of HIV infections are acquired through unprotected sexual relations. Sexual transmission occurs when there is contact between sexual secretions of one partner with the rectal, genital or oral mucous membranes of another.\n\n    * Blood or blood product route. This transmission route is particularly important for intravenous drug users, hemophiliacs and recipients of blood transfusions and blood products. It is also of concern for persons receiving medical care in regions where there is prevalent substandard hygiene in the use of injection equipment (e.g. reused needles in Third World settings). Health care workers (nurses, laboratory workers, doctors, etc) are also directly concerned, although more rarely. Also concerned by this route are people who give and receive tattoos, piercings and scarification procedures.\n\n    * Mother-to-child route. The transmission of the virus from the mother to the child can occur in utero during the last weeks of pregnancy and at childbirth. In the absence of treatment, the transmission rate between the mother and child is 25%. However, where treatment is available, combined with the availability of Cesarian section, this has been reduced to 1%. Breast feeding also presents a risk of infection for the baby.\n\nHIV has been found at low concentrations in the saliva, tears and urine of infected individuals, but the risk of transmission by these secretions is considered to be negligible.\n\nThe use of physical barriers such as the latex condom is widely advocated to reduce the sexual transmission of HIV. Recently, it has been proposed that male circumcision may reduce the risk of HIV transmission, but many experts believe that it is premature to recommend male circumcision as part of HIV prevention programs.

You have asked several questions. An egg that is fertilized with sperm from an HIV+ father will probably have the disease because of the manner in which fertilzation in vitro is performed. Then the embryo (more likely, several) embryos are implanted into a woman. These embryos are implanted into the woman without separating them from seminal fluid including the HIV virus. I rather suspect, the woman has just been exposed to HIV and will become positive herself. It is barely possible the child will not develop the disease but what gain is that if the wife falls ill. \n\nThe next question deals with killing the HIV virus by freezing the semen and/or the embryo. That won't happen. Viruses are almost non-living molecules. They commandeer the DNA of cells and get cells to support them. Treatment by cooling, will not kill a virus. We used to "store" viruses by freezing them in liquid nitrogen. The sperm cell will die well before a virus can be killed. Cells are far more fragile than viruses.\n\nThe next issue is that females do not have sperms. They have eggs which require fertilization either inside or outside of their bodies and the embryo requires a womb for implantation so it can grow and become a developed organism.\n\nThe risks of such a procedure are clear to me. They are about the same as having unprotected sex with the woman. If both of you are agreeable to this, so be it. This is not my call but I did wish to explain a couple of things.

HIV treatment involves a lot of different drugs.  The typical treatment is triple drug combination therapy.  It's also called HAART (Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy.)  It's 3 different drugs that hit the virus in different stages of development.  There are several combinations of different drugs that can be involved.\n\nThere are also a newer drug called a fusion inhibitor that prevents HIV from attaching itself to a T-Cell.\n\nAll of these drugs treat the virus (HIV).  AIDS is a condition brought on my long term infection with HIV.  Triple drug combination therapy will increase T-Cell counts & reduce the amount of virus in a patient - which will make them healthier.\n\nThese drugs all have side-effects & are a huge commitment to patients.  Missing doses of the pills can cause the virus to mutate and grow resistant to the drugs.\n\nThere are several treatments available for the various opportunistic infections that hit people with AIDS.\n\nTriple drug combination therapy has extended AIDS patients lives by many, many years.  Scientists speculate that people can live a long healthy life on these drugs.

I want to know who are any of you to judge this person. I bet if we followed you'd have some issues also. The first person who posted is right. And just so you know smartass a baby is not automatically born with HIV if the mother has it.

aids can be transmitted through\nunprotected oral, vaginal, or anal sexual intercourse ("unprotected" means not using a condom) \nsharing needles, such as needles used to inject drugs (including needles used for injecting steroids) and those used for tattooing

Women with HIV have decreased fertility rates compared to HIV negative women, however, to become pregnant, you must have unsafe sexual intercourse which puts your partner at risk for HIV. \n\n\nThe risk of transmission from an HIV positive woman to her baby is approximately 25%.\n\nThis risk is higher for women with lower CD4 counts and higher viral loads.  Most transmission occurs during the birthing process, although it may occur during the pregnancy or by breast feeding.  It is, therefore, recommended that women with HIV not breast feed their babies.

There are currently drugs available that enabled a HIV positive person to live a normal life span. The treatment is not cheap, but for someone living in the US, HIV is not a death sentence anymore. \n\nThere are also studies underway that indicate that certain combination of those drugs prevent the user from getting HIV, similar to Malaria prevention drugs. Those studies look very positive, but a prevention is not a cure. \n\nTo completely eradicate the HIV disease, a vaccine would be required and that still seems to be some time in the future.

*  Antibiotics, to prevent or treat infection. Antibiotic treatment does not always eliminate infection, though it is often effective in preventing infection when the amniotic sac has ruptured (pPROM) and risk of infection is high.  19   Antibiotics can also delay delivery after pPROM.  4\n    * Medications (antenatal corticosteroids) to speed up fetal lung development if birth is anticipated between the 24th and 34th weeks of pregnancy.\n    * Tocolytic medications, to slow down contractions and try to delay labor for a day or two.\n\nTocolytic treatment is more likely to be successful when preterm labor is recognized and treated right away, before membranes have ruptured or the cervix has effaced and dilated beyond 4 cm.\n\n\n Antenatal corticosteroids (betamethasone or dexamethasone) help prepare the fetus's lungs for preterm birth.\n\nTocolytic medications that are used to stop preterm labor include:\n\n    * Beta-sympathetic medications (ritodrine, terbutaline).\n    * Magnesium sulfate.\n    * Indomethacin.\n    * Nifedipine.
