Babies with actual AIDS, i.e. who have the disease of AIDS beyond being merely HIV-positive, have a fairly low survival rate without aggressive treatment because they have essentially no immune system and are subject to severe infections from pathogens that would not at all bother a person with a healthy immune system.
Sadly yes, the course of HIV and AIDS is particularly aggressive in children. About 50 per cent of children who acquire HIV from their mothers die before their second birthday. Preventing Mother to Child Transmission of HIV is one of the key ways UNICEF has been fighting the disease.

Give's it a abnormally large boner, when it is being born. About 23 inches long, it may kill you. The boner not aids.
By being born to a mother who has AIDS, a baby can get it from the mother, or if the baby has to have a blood transfusion for any reason, the baby can get it that way.
Well once you are HIV positive you can't get rid of it but you can take pills to expand your life.

How can you get HIV? You can get HIV from your mom or dad. When your mom and dad has sex, one of then has HIV. If your dad has HIV and he did sex with your mom and than your mom get it. Then your mom has a baby and then your moms baby will get it. When she has the baby the baby will have it when he grow up. Then your mom and dad will die. Then the baby grow up he will not live long he will die when it comes time. How can HIV not be spread? The only thing is to be heath is to not have sex with no one or you could get HIV. You can't get HIV from kiss. DON'T HAVE SEX WITH NO ONE.
See your doctor immediately. Yes the baby of a pregnant woman can get HIV. However, it is also possible to greatly reduce the odds of the baby getting HIV if the mother is on anti HIV medicine during her pregnancy. Also, your doctor may recommend you do not breast-feed your baby.
HIV and Aids are spread by exchange of body fluids mostly through sexual intercourse and infected needles used by drug addicts. However a baby can still get HIV then AIDS from her mother.
A baby can get HIV infection at birth.
Women do not have sperm. If you're talking about a woman's vaginal secretions then yes it is possible and does on occasional occur during unprotected intercourse.
