Description: For HIV-infected mothers, a scheduled cesarean delivery at 38 weeks can reduce the risk of mother - to - child transmission of the virus. If, before her scheduled cesarean delivery, rupture of membranes or she goes into labor, a cesarean delivery may not reduce the risk of mother to-child transmission of HIV.
