Background and general questions

If you have just been diagnosed with HIV and/or found out that you are pregnant

Both pregnancy and HIV involve many new words and terms. We try to explain what these terms mean and how they might affect your life.

A very important part of ensuring that a woman has a healthy pregnancy and an HIV-free baby is making sure that she has all the support she needs, including with adjusting to her diagnosis.

Your health care team will be aware of this. But please talk to them if you need additional support and information.

There are lots of people, services and other sources of information and peer support to help women living with HIV and their families.

A good sources of community support is Positively UK
