A person is born with HIV only if the mother carrying the child is HIV+ and passed it to her child. There are numerous precautions mothers can take to significantly decrease the risk of passing HIV onto their children. If the child is infected with HIV, then the infection either happened during the gestation (while the mother was pregnant) or during the birth. There is a rupture of membranes during vaginal delivery, which causes the child to come into contact with the mother's blood. This can pass HIV to the child. Because of this, many HIV+ women will deliver via C-section to avoid this contact with blood.
It is possible for someone to be born with HIV. It is common practice for medical professionals to perform HIV tests when women seek prenatal care, but that has not always been the case.
HIV can go undectected for long periods of time but not indefinitely. Children born with HIV would be aware of infection by adulthood.
They can be, but it won't happen unless their mother is a carrier of HIV and has not received treatment. Not every baby (whether a boy or a girl) born to a mother with HIV will necessarily have the disease, but HIV can definitely be transmitted from mother to infant. The key to preventing this from occurring is for the mother to take the appropriate anti-viral medicines her doctor prescribes. She should also not use illegal intravenous drugs; and she should make sure her doctor is monitoring her viral load during the pregnancy. I enclose a good link with information about preventing mother-to-baby transmission of HIV or AIDS.
Yes, you can be born with aids if the mother has aids.
It is probable that the child will get HIV, but it is known to happen where a child does not get the virus.
Big possiblilty,,,,remeber all viral disease are incurable and a person who has them are at risk of passing it to others when proper precautions weren't taken.

Some people are born with HIV if the mother or the father are a carrier
Some babies are born with HIV as their mothers were positive. Infants could get HIV by receiving a transfusion of infected blood.

More than 1,000 children are infected with HIV every day.
The CDC recommends that all babies born to HIV-infected mothers be treated with antipneumonia drugs beginning at four--six weeks and continuing until the infant is found to be HIV-negative.
