There are several things that can be done to lower the risk of transmitting HIV from mother to child:

1. Get mother started on antiretroviral medications while she is still pregnant to reduce viral load.

2. Delivery child via c-section to prevent fetus from being exposed to HIV containing bodily fluid during the delivery process.

3. Start child on antiretroviral medications after birth.

4. Do not breastfeed. HIV is present in breast milk.
