Am HIV positive how can I get pregnant without making my partner affected?
Hi Telesia,
Yes. Women around the world have taken HIV drugs safely in pregnancy now for over 20 years. Now this usually involves taking at least three drugs and is called ART. This question is answered here. Going to get treatment (ART) can help your viral load to undetectable. Many women have had healthy HIV negative babies when they are taking ART and are undetectable.
