AB  - Worldwide,  an  estimated  1.5  million  infants  are  born  to  HIV-infected  mothers  each  year.1  In  high-income  countries,  where  prenatal  testing,  maternal  antiretroviral  therapy,  infant  antiretroviral  prophylaxis,  cesarean  delivery  (when  indicated),  and  safe  alternatives  to  breastfeeding  are  widely  available,  the  risk  of  perinatal  transmission  of  HIV  can  be  reduced  to  less  than  2%.2  The  pediatric  provider  plays  an  essential  role  in  preventing  perinatal  HIV  transmission  through  the  early  identification  of  HIV-exposed  infants,  timely  HIV  testing,  and  provision  of  infant  antiretroviral  prophylaxis.
