Pregnancy Info HOME

Of course it is still possible you can have children but you really need to consider the long term ramifications of living with this disease and raising a child. Are you in a committed relationship?, do you have support? You need to consider the possibility of transmission to the baby, are you healthy? Do you have the finances to keep yourself healthy with the proper meds? Talk to your doctor about this and ask a million questions, they are there to help YOU, are you involved in a support group of any kind, this may be a good way to meet other people that share this desire and have went through child birth/child raising whom are also HIV positive. Just because you have this disease doesn’t make you any different then any other mother that shares a illness such as breast cancer, the only thing you need to be aware of is the possible transmission, but now a days there are drugs that can protect the baby. I’m sure you have a lot to offer a child! Good luck, I wish you the best, keep us posted .
