The nurse is providing prenatal teaching to a client who just learned she is pregnant. The client asks, Will my baby be born with HIV because I am HIV-positive? The nurse's most accurate response is:

1. Yes, because HIV is transmitted through the shared maternal-fetal circulation.
2. Yes, because the baby will come in contact with your blood during delivery.
3. Not necessarily, if you take your prescribed ZDV and deliver by C-section.
4. No, the doctor will make sure to take all the necessary precautions to prevent that.
