This article talks about how women who are living with HIV can take treatment to help protect their baby from getting HIV. Five years ago there was a therapy that women could get to help the transmission, but most women don't even know that they are living with HIV. Even though this is a new drug, only 15% of women can actually recieve this drug. Each country is trying harder and harder to help the women who are living with HIV. In some countries over 80% of women have been helped to fight from giving this to the unborn child.

My opinion on this article that it is a great way to help mother's and their babies. I think that a baby should get the same chance to have a healthy lifestyle as anyone else should get. I wish that there was someway that all women who are living with HIV could get some kind of treatment to decrease the risk of spreading this to their baby. But before some women who don't even know that thay do have HIV, it is to late to help their unborn baby. I believe that if the mother does know that she is at risk of passing HIV on to their baby then the drug is comethng that should be strongly consider to help the life of their baby.
