title: [The trend in the spread of HIV infection among the children born to HIV-infected mothers in Donets'k Province].
abstract: Recordable in Donets'k Province since the end of 1995 is an epidemic rise in incidence rates of HIV infection, with 3 to 3.5-fold annual increase in the number of children born to HIV-infected mothers. In 96.5 percent of the above children antibodies to HIV are detected at the time of birth, as evidenced by laboratory tests. 100 percent preservation of maternal antibodies to HIV has been found to be the case in babies 3 months old, which fact suggests that children born to HIV-infected mothers require repeated examinations beginning at the age of six months. In Donets'k Province, the probability for the HIV infection to pass from the infected mother to the fetus (newborn) is at the present time estimated to be on an average 42.8 to 50%.
