Chinanews, Changsha, July 23 – After becoming a mother for seven months, Xiao Wang, an AIDS patient, cried with happiness when she was recently informed that her baby had passed all related health checks that showed that it was free of AIDS virus infection. The success was only possible after doctors and nurses had applied1 intervention2 measures to the mother and the infant for a whole year. The baby thus became the first lucky baby in Hunan Province that was born healthy by a mother who carried AIDS virus, the Sanxiang Metropolitan3 News reported.
Xiao Wang, 27, was diagnosed to be infected with AIDS virus after she went to the Xiangya No. 2 Hospital to check her lung infection problem in March 2006. Knowing that she was an AIDS patient, doctors and nurses in the hospital tried to persuade her to terminate the pregnancy4. But Xiao Wang wouldn't hear of it. Seeing this, Professor Zheng Yuhuang, a renowned5 doctor on AIDS disease treatment, and the doctors from the gynaecology and obstetrics department and the paediatrics department in the Xiangya No.2 Hospital worked out a detailed6 plan to try to apply intervention measures to mother and baby during the whole pregnancy process.
After having been pregnant for seven months, Xiao Wang started to take some anti-virus medicine. In the later regular prenatal checkups, it was shown that the virus amount in Xiao Wang’s blood had been controlled to normal range.
In November 2006, Xiao Wang was moved to a maternity7 ward8 that was prepared especially for her. On November 28, she gave birth to a baby boy. The baby had passed all medical checks related with AIDS. The nucleic acids amplification9 test showed that there was no AIDS virus in the baby’s blood. From December 2006 to June 2007, Xiao Wang fed the baby at home with milk, vegetable soup, and porridge. She didn’t feed the baby with breast milk.
After the baby was born, doctors and nurses at the Xiangya No.2 Hospital monitored the health status of the baby regularly. During this time, the baby had never caught any disease and grown well.
When the baby was seven months old (a critical time when doctors could tell whether it was finally infected with the disease), doctors at the hospital gave a comprehensive medical check to the baby. The results showed that the baby had passed all related tests and there was no AIDS virus in its blood. The intervention measures conformed to related standards set by the China Disease Prevention and Control Center and the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund.
