TAILIEUCHUNG - NATIONAL HEALTH POLICY 2002 (India)

The best way to ensure that infants are not born with HIV or acquire it during breast-feeding is to provide HIV-positive women the care they need for their own HIV disease. Vertical transmission is certainly an issue where the false dichotomy pitting prevention and treatment against each other is truly nonsense—in studies where HIV-positive women get appropriate care, HIV transmission to infants is largely eradicated2 .
