All pregnant women in England and Wales will be recommended for an HIV test,
the Department of 91É«ÇéƬ has announced. Some 70 per cent of British babies with
HIV are born to mothers who do not know they are infected. But a combination of
antiviral therapy, birth by Caesarean section and bottle feeding can reduce the
risk of transmission from about 15 per cent to less than 2 per cent.
