Question

I’ve pregnant, do I need to take ARVs?

I’m pregnant, and I’ve just found out that I’m HIV positive. I had no idea I was positive as last time I tested I was negative. Can I start using Art?

Answer

Thanks for getting in touch.

How are you doing with your diagnoses? Are you getting any support?

In response to your quesiton, yes you can start using ARVs, in fact given that you’re pregnant it’s important that you do use ARVs. Not only will the ARVs help your health they’ll also reduce the risk of transmission to your baby. Please see the following guides for more info:
