Honest question, how does birthing the traditional way increase the chance of HIV infection? Also, are you doing anything to bring the positive aspects of the traditional into the clinic?

And your post is kind of grayed out, does that mean it's been downvoted? (I only see up vote option, do I need more points to downvote?)

Good question. Clinics are more hygienic (reducing the chance of blood transmission during birth), provide ARVs pre-birth (reduces HIV viral count), and give Nevirapine at birth (giving this to newborns immediately after birth is the biggest individual step that can reduce transmission).

Not sure why the post is grayed out or what it means. I believe only some members have downvoting privileges (I don't).

Thanks for clarifying!
