What if I am already using HIV treatment when I become pregnant?
Many women decide to have a baby when they are already on therapy. This speaks volumes about the tremendous advances made with HIV drugs.
Women feel better. They are healthier. They are thinking about long-term relationships. They are thinking about a future and possibly a family.
It is now increasingly common for women who conceive while they are on treatment to continue on treatment throughout their pregnancy.
Studies have not shown any increased risk to the mother or baby from using continuous treatment throughout the pregnancy.
