Perinatal HIV transmission refers to transmission from an HIV-positive parent to their infant. This can happen during pregnancy (through the placenta), during delivery (exposure to infected bodily fluids), and through breastfeeding (HIV is present in breast milk). Casual contact like kissing or routine skin-to-skin contact does not transmit HIV.
