Hello- getting a hiv infection needs some time (few years to more than 15 years sometimes) to change into aids depending upon the immunity of the body, this is the reason why doctor has refused to start the treatment for aids presently, but hiv infection can pass out from you to your baby as the baby derives his nourishment from the blood of the mother. Contact a doctor immediately regarding this issue and get vaccinated to prevent the spread into the baby.

Recently there is a guideline that you have to take HIV medication irrespective of your CD4 count and has to continue life long.It will decrease viral load and so risk of transmission to your baby will decrease.
