The so-called "mother to child blocking" refers to blocking the transmission of AIDS virus from mother to child through drugs used by pregnant women, drugs used at the birth of babies and artificial feeding after the pregnancy of women infected with AIDS virus. Medical evidence shows that effective mother to child blocking of AIDS can usually reduce the vertical transmission rate of mother to child to 2-5%. How to do HIV mother to child blocking?
First, women infected with AIDS virus began to use anti AIDS drugs when they were 3 months (28 weeks) pregnant. After the birth of the newborn, the mother and child continued to use drugs, which was the most effective intervention. Because mother to child infection is most likely to occur during childbirth, the closer it is to delivery, the greater the risk, and the most dangerous moment is during delivery. In short, if anti AIDS drugs can be used to reduce the virus in the mother's body, the child's infection rate will be reduced.
The second is to implement obstetric intervention and perform cesarean section. For pregnant women with a viral load of 1000cp/ml and unknown viral load without receiving antiviral treatment, elective cesarean section can effectively prevent mother to child transmission of AIDS
Third, for women infected with AIDS virus, it is necessary to choose high-quality and safe breast milk substitutes and adopt artificial feeding to avoid postpartum AIDS transmission through breast milk.
Additionally, it should be noted that after giving birth, for a long period of time and for several years in the future, the mother's blood or bodily fluids should be avoided from coming into contact with the baby. For example, if the mother accidentally damages the skin or bleeds due to household chores or other reasons, it is necessary to avoid contact between the mother's blood or wound exudate and the baby as much as possible. It should be said that the combination of multiple prevention methods can effectively block the transmission of AIDS virus between mothers and infants.
