Can I get pregnant if I’m taking this medication Acriptega?
Answer
Thanks for getting in touch.
ARVs don’t have any impact on a woman’s chances of getting pregnant, so if you’re reading to start trying for a baby then you can.
Being on ARVs is important when you’re pregnant as they reduce the risk of transmission.
Hello Rosaline and thanks for getting in touch.
Living with HIV should not prevent you from having children.
You can have children the natural way.
If you remain on ARVs and your viral load is undetectable, you cannot pass on HIV to your children.

I am Rosaline. I am on ARVs and I am 30. Looking for the fruit of the womb. How will that be possible?
Hello and thanks for the question.
Do you mind if I ask: Are you on treatment?
Sometimes women living with HIV experience changes in their period and you could have heavier or lighter bleeding.
Living with HIV does not prevent you from becoming a mother and being on effective treatment will not allow for HIV to be passed on to the baby.
So, living with HIV should not stop you from having children.
If you can, it would be a good idea to visit a specialist to discuss options for pregnancy, as these changes might also have some hormonal cause or be affected by other STIs.
I’m 40 years of age and I’m looking for a child of my own I recently find out I’m hiv positive and my period are not coming the same I only see them 2days I think there is something wrong with me
Hi Noni, Triolar and Citenivr are the same medication.
They are both generic versions of Atripla. They have different names because they have been made by different manufacturers, but they still work the same way.
It is okay to switch between Triolar and Citenvir. There is no problem.
Generic versions of Atripla: Atripla (efavirenz + tenofovir DF + FTC)
