There is some controversy about what is the safest way to give birth in the case of HIV positive women. Caesarean section is a surgical procedure that can be risky, but also serves to reduce others. To perform a caesarean section to do a cut through the abdominal muscles and the uterus and remove the baby. Then you have to sew back the uterus and muscles.
can not give a categorical answer and only on what is the best way to give birth in patients seropositive for both mother and baby. The choice between vaginal delivery or elective cesarean is a matter of medical opinion and personal choice . With the proper precautions vaginal delivery is an option in most of the world.
both the vaginal delivery as Caesarean section baby no contact with the blood of the mother who is responsible for many cases of infection. The studies conducted so far are not conclusive when deciding which of the two methods is associated with a lower risk of transmission.
One option is to perform an elective caesarean , ie deciding the time of delivery is not expected to begin this naturally. This prevents the rupture of the membranes, which increases as said previously the risk of transmission. One study has shown that this type of caesarean section reduces the risk of transmission to reduce the baby's contact with the blood and vaginal secretions.
But this intervention also has its drawbacks : can cause bleeding, infection and other complications so not everyone agrees with subjecting all women with HIV to an elective caesarean section. On the other hand, some women with advanced HIV infection could not tolerate this type of intervention.
