I was on treatment throughout the who pregnancy – will my baby test negative?
Answer
Hi there
Please don’t worry.
Even with good planning these things sometimes happen.
The baby might just come quickly or earlier than expected.
Or it might take too long to get to hospital.
The most important thing is that you were on effective treatment with an undetectable viral load. This will give you baby the best and highest change of not getting HIV – so please don’t worry about this.
Best wishes – and congratulations on your new baby.
You will have a good story to tell them about this as they grow up.
