How can I get pregnant when I am HIV positive?

Can you please give me information on the right procedure in getting pregnant when you are HIV positive?

Thank you for your question.

There are different options as regards getting pregnant when you are HIV positive.

The options take into consideration whether your partner is also HIV positive or whether they are HIV negative.

    Hi Innocentia,

    If your HIV is under control and you’re on meds then that would be a good time to start. However, its really up to you.

    Hi Lumka, It’s great that you are planning to have a baby. So here is the page of frequently asked questions about having a baby. Many HIV positive people around the world have had healthy HIV negative babies. There’s more info in the guide to HIV pregnancy and women’s health.

    Hi Blessings,
    Are you taking HIV treatment (ART)? If you are, and there is only a tiny amount of HIV in your blood test (it’s called undetectable), then it can protect the baby and your partner from HIV. Here’s the guide to HIV Pregnancy and Women’s Health.
