Baby born to mother suffering from AIDS, all are true except________________?

Correct answer: C. 50% chances to have AIDS

  • A. Failure to thrive
  • B. Have infections
  • C. 50% chances to have AIDS
  • D. All are true

Explanation

Infants born to mothers with HIV may develop failure to thrive and recurrent infections, but the risk of vertical transmission is generally around 15 to 40% without effective prevention, not a fixed 50% chance of AIDS. Therefore, the 50% statement is the exception.
