AIDS and Pregnancy
If you have AIDS and determine out
you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant, you
should permit your health care provider know as soon
as possible. Some AIDS medicines might harm
your baby. Your health care provider may want
you to take dissimilar medicines or change the doses.
It is also probable to give HIV, the
virus that causes AIDS, to your baby. This is most probable
to occur around the time you give birth. For this reason,
treatment during this time is very vital for protecting
your baby from infection. More than a few treatments
can help the virus from spreading from you to your baby.
Your health care provider can suggest the best one for
you.
Your baby will also require having
treatment for at least the first six weeks of life.
Regular testing will be required to find out if your
baby is infected.
