Non-infected babies born to HIV positive mothers should be vaccinated early against measles, to avoid them acquiring the virus or passing it on to others, according to researchers. A new study finds that even if babies are born without HIV, their maternally derived protection against measles may be impaired by their mother's positive HIV status.
