Summary
The aim of this single centre study is to measure maternal CD4+ t-cells in HiV exposed Newborns after spontaneous birth in comparison to cesarean section. This may have an influence on the risk of vertical HiV transmission.
Detailed description
At birth maternal CD4+ t-cells from umbilical cord blood and placenta blood are measured by microchimerism-analysis. After 6 weeks the maternal CD4+ t-cells are measured in the blood of the babies blood. Additionally we look for HiV in maternal CD4+ t-cells.
