A young child is NEVER IMMUNE to HIV. Babies can get HIV in many ways. If the mother has HIV the child can get it when exposed to the mother's body fluids (blood, breast milk, saliva). A child can also get HIV if they come into contact with infected blood or sharp objects (like needles and razor blades) with HIV-infected blood on them. If a child is exposed to HIV they must see a health worker IMMEDIATELY for drugs that can help prevent them getting infected-these drugs are called PEP.
