I agree there is no reason for C/S except for usual obstetrical indications. A New England Journal article suggests a 7% transmission rate at birth, but there is no evidence that C/S would lower it and it is highest in women who also have HIV. Even though breast feeding is allowed and minimal risk, they still need to be told that there is a small risk of transmission through breast milk. Probably has the same risk of transmission just living in the same household.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
