Amniotic Fluid
To baby Via Placenta & Breast Milk
What are the stages of HIV/AIDs - ANS 1: Acute (Rapid decrease in T-helper)
2: Chronic (Slow/Steady drop in T-helper cells)
3: AIDs (T-helper cells below 200)
Most common S/S of HIV/AIDS - ANS starts as: Flu-Like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes,
rash, cough, etc.
leads to: Kaposi Sarcoma & Pneumocytitis Pneumonia

How do we manage HIV/AIDs - ANS Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) & Truvada
