Is pregnancy dangerous for hiv positive parents, should i be concerned?

Yes: Please see your doctor even before you plan to become pregnant. You need to be under treatment to prevent infection to the baby. You ought to be under treatment for your health's sake anyway.

HIV and Pregnancy: Many millions of people are now thriving with HIV in the world. Having an infected baby is nearly eradicated in the world. The whole world. Anyone with HIV should be connected to an expert. Pregnant or those HIV infected women who want to be mothers need to be on effective treatment and their OB or pediatrician must be ready for the delivery so that the baby is born uninfected.
