Question

can cancer spread through blood to blood contact and during breast feeding can a child infected frm AIDS transfer its disease to its mother?

Answer 1

• Cancer can spread through blood on very rare occasions, slip through undetected. If there are cancer cells in the blood, unique proteins on the surface of those cells mark them out as foreign. The recipient's immune system can destroys them before they can settle in. Blood banks carefully screen donor’s blood always. But if the recipient's immune system is not working well, then cancer can spread unlikely.
• About 15% of newborns born to HIV-positive women will become infected if they breast feed for 24 months or longer. In most cases, HIV will not cross through the placenta from mother to baby. If the mother is healthy (that is HIV negative) there is no chance for the baby to suffer from HIV positive.
