Answer to Question 1

3
The health care provider should be tested immediately to show if any preexisting infection exists. Seroconversion usually occurs in 1 to 3 months but can take up to 6 months. Testing at 2 months is too late to discover a preexisting infection and can be too early to detect a new infection. Testing at 6 months or 1 year would not detect a preexisting infection.

Answer to Question 2

4
Breastfeeding and vaginal birth put the newborn at risk for HIV. HIV cannot be transmitted by changing diapers (feces) or kissing the baby (saliva).
