Hello,
Can you tell me a bit more about your situation? What is your CD4 count and how far are you into your pregnancy?
If you are pregnancy and your CD4 count is low (under 350) it is very important that you start treatment with ARVs. ARVs are the only medicines that can increase your CD4 count, and can also reduce the chance of transmitting HIV to your baby.
Please see our pregnancy guide for more info, and let me know if you have any questions.
Hi Christina,
There’s no reason why your HIV should be an issue. If you’re on medication you’re already doing the best thing possible with regards to reducing the risk of transmission. Please see the following guide: http://i-base.info/guides/pregnancy
