hi ,dont worry. hiv can not spread by holding your baby by her. no chances for hiv in your cases. hiv can not transmitted by contact or holding. and scratches are so minute that no infection can spread by that. so forget about there. your babies are totaly safe from hiv.
thanks for using health care magic.
