From (2015)Quilt.org:

An HIV+ pregnant woman can give birth to an HIV-free baby

98 percent of mother-to-child HIV transmission incidents are preventable.

Yet, more than 1,000 babies are born every day with HIV.

And half of children born with HIV will die before their second birthday without treatment.

So what will it take to virtually end the transmission of HIV from mothers to their babies by 2015?

We need to get 1.4 million HIV+ pregnant women on medication — medication that costs around 40 cents a day.

It’s doable.
