If the mother was HIV positive, the newborn has the mother's HIV-specific antibodies as they are transported across the placenta. The detection of these HIV antibodies could imply the newborn was exposed, but perhaps not infected. Wouldn't the diagnosis HIV in the newborn be problematic because of the omnipresence of maternal HIV antibodies during the first years of life?
The news article I read mentioned the baby being tested positive for the virus based on five seperate tests...including two taken within 31 hours after birth. With such a short amount of time frame to make the diagnosis, it just makes me question this a bit. I'm sure I'm not the only one here.

Will this be able to get to the "reservoirs" of hidden HIV in bone marrow and other places? I am too busy to read much right now.
