Having a baby involves much more than the medical and practical side to pregnancy. For many people it is a central part of their life.

Although HIV makes life more complicated, you can still have children and a family.

ART dramatically reduces the risk of transmission from a mother to her baby. This protection continues through pregnancy and when the baby is born.
