Q. There are at least three methods of transmission available for AIDS i.e. sexual, perinatal and parenteral. Mother to child infection is called as

AMUAMU 1996

Solution:

: The term perinatal is used for maternal-foetal transmission. Rate of perinatal transmission is between 15-25% and is reduced to less than 5% by the use of antiretroviral therapy. The term parenteral is used when the transmission occurs through infected needles.
