i think nothing should be done here .. you cant make an HIV positive baby HIV negative .. besides we are just the waiters in this hotel of patients.. we present the menu and the people decide

so one should let the nature take its course and let the baby present with oral cadidiasis sometime later( we cant even start the treatment before the cd4 count drops below 350/mm3) and lets not disturb the courts as they have alot already on their heads..
