HIV in pregnancy: Hiv is an infectious disease that is sexually transmitted. Pregnant women with HIV face special challenges that other pregnant women do not face. Special antiretroviral medication is given to minimize risk of vertical transmission to your baby. Since HIV has such major implications for both you and your baby, it is recommended that all pregnant women be screened for hiv.
