[edit] Pre-AIDS Life?
Didn't Elizabeth Glaser have a life before she became infected with HIV? I have a memory that she worked for a museum or something similar, and presumably she was born somewhere and also attended school somewhere. Perhaps someone who knows these details could add them.68.72.105.83 13:31, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] MTCT Claim
I do not think that the "two most common forms of MTCT" statement is correct. Delivery and breast-feeding are the two most common forms of MTCT, while transmission in utero is quite rare. It is the trauma of delivery itself that raises the risk of infection, and the prolonged exposure to the virus from breast-feeding that cause these two modes of transmission to be the most common among MTCT.
[edit] "Healthy" Son
It's wonderful that her son's HIV is kept in check by modern medicine, but I it's a big stretch to call him "healthy". Would you take a transfusion from him? No indictment of her good work or that of her son, but people with controlled-HIV are not "healthy" by any means. Be real and stop being P.C. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.19.210.8 (talk) 18:39, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
