A number of people with human immunodeficiency virus infection (Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV) are still rising in theCzech Republic. The increasing number of HIV-positive pregnant women is not so significant due to the prophylactic program,the risk of vertical transmission has significantly decreased. The prophylactic program is divided into 4 parts (antiretroviral treatmentduring pregnancy, birth by caesarean section and replacing breastfeeding with a milk diet, using antiretroviral suspensionduring the first six weeks of newborn life). The dispensation program is up to 18 months of child age when the child is removedfrom the evidence after the final negative PCR test (polymerase chain reaction).
