10. What procedure did the authors use in this study to collect data?
They tested dried blood spot samples from infants 3 months of age and older presenting for their first immunization visit for maternal HIV antibodies and subsequently for HIV.
11. What kind of data was presented in the results section? Were there averages (means), correlations, or statistical tests?
15.1% of mothers were HIV-infected and had passed HIV antibodies to their infant.
12. What did the author find – what was concluded from the data analyses? Was the hypothesis supported?
They asked mothers whether they received ARVs during labor, and one-third reported receiving none. Also the number of infants exposed to HIV was 15.1% and appeared to be bit higher than the HIV rate for women aged 15–49 being 12.9%.

There are many health problems that we face globally and each of them are important for us to be aware of and to take precautions and measures to prevent and treat such diseases that affect our global population. HIV/AIDS is a disease that is spread through direct contact with body fluids from a person who is infected with the virus, these fluids include blood, semen, rectal fluid, vaginal fluids and breast milk. There are an approximate 35 million people living with the disease globally as of 2015 and about 1 million of those people are children under the age of 15 (Aids.gov, 2016). There are approximately 1.2 million people in the U.S. living with the disease and of those individuals many became infected with HIV by needle or syringe sharing,

· The results of the study, the interpretation of the data by the authors and any conclusions they include at the end of the article.
According to the CDC, about 18 % of those infected with HIV in the United States are unaware of their infection. An estimate of 1,000 young people ages 13 to 24 are newly infected with HIV each month. HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids such as semen, blood, breast milk, and vaginal fluids. These fluids can come in contact between people in a variety of ways, including having unprotected sex (oral, vaginal, or anal); HIV can also be passed from mother to child during childbirth. Mother to child transmission is now rare in the US and other developed countries because pregnant women who are HIV-positive are normally given medications to prevent the fetus from getting infected. However, it is possible for an HIV-infected mother to

15. Women and HIV related MDGs, its target and impact of HIV to achieve the target
The HIV and AIDS pandemic remains one the most serious development crises in the world (WHO, 2006). Women and children bear a disproportionate share of the burden, and in many settings continue to experience high rates of new HIV infections and of HIV-related illness and death. In 2005 alone, an estimated 540 000 children were newly infected with HIV, with about
HIV can be passed from mother to child during childbirth, through used needles and through blood contact. Approximately 101,200 people are infected with HIV in the UK.
