Jenny, I just typed out a post for ya & lost it. You took my post out of context. I'm right but so are you. Also, you're completely wrong about my friend's son. He ended up with AIDS when he was 9 and now the virus doesn't even show up. I have to fix dinner & will be back on later. This very certainly could pertain to Antoinette. She most certainly could give birth to an HIV+ baby, even with all precautions available taken. I am a researcher. I went to school for infectious disease. I've been home for the past 7 years taking care of my children but am going back to work next year. I am a lifelong volunteer for The Sunshine Foundation & have volunteered for DuPont Nemours for over 10 years now. I know, just like you do, the technicalities involved with AIDS prevention. You're wrong with babies not being born with HIV if proper prevention is taken. Not all the time is that the case. Actually, 2% are still born infected, even with all necessary meds & precautions during pregnancy as well as childbirth & lack of breastfeeding. If the father that is HIV+ didn't use proper precautions (used a condom & it broke), and the baby is born with HIV, it's a felony. I mean, come on, these aren't good people here. They probably know nothing about sperm washing if they really wanted to have a baby together. Blood can be found in sperm. Say Antoinette didn't know that Coe had HIV and she got pregnant, she knows now. If she refuses drugs & proper precautions to protect the fetus, it's a felony punishable by law. My friends son is the reason I got into infectious disease. He's an incredible role model for me, matter of fact he's one of my heroes. I love him dearly.
Many many many hugs to you.
Jersey
