Question

Do I still need to give my baby co-timoxazole?

8 August 2024. Related: All topics, Children.

Hi, I am HIV positive and my viral load was undetectable when I gave birth in march 2023.

My baby tested negative for two tests. I chose exclusive formula feed.

Is it recommended to still give my baby cotrimoxazole until 2 years.
