There is NO reason why you should consider aborting your baby.<\/p>\n
Your doctor is wrong to suggest this, and is not up to date with the facts.<\/p>\n
The risk for your next baby to be HIV-positive can be reduced to almost zero.<\/p>\n
Although these test results are a shock to you, it is important that you get accurate information.<\/p>\n
The main risk to the baby comes when the baby is delivered. But if your wife starts HIV treatment, her viral load (amount of HIV in her blood) will be brought down to very low levels by the time the baby is born. And the risk becomes very low.
\nShe also has time to get information, so you both feel in control of your choices. Most doctors recommend starting treatment after the first three month, so timing is still fine for all this.<\/p>\n
It is very rare for a baby to become HIV-positive when the mother is on a combination of three drugs that will bring her viral load down to very low levels.<\/p>\n
