In contrast, whether the mother takes antiretroviral therapy and giving birth by Caesarean section then the transmission rate is only 1%. On the other hand, AIDS was claimed as the cause of the death of two million and four hundred thousand people in 2005 that more than five hundred and seventy thousand of whom are children.
