Close Monitoring: Women who are HIV positive & pregnant (or wish to be pregnant) should consult regularly w/a physician comfortable with the situation. Antiretroviral therapies (arts) and routine viral load testing can greatly decrease the likelihood of HIV being transmitted to the baby. If viral loads are very high arts may be recommended during labor. The best thing to do is find talk with your obstetrician asap.

See a physician!: Proper treatment of HIV during pregnancy can reduce and possibly eliminate the transmission of the virus to the baby. See a physician who has experience in the management of hiv, either in the community or at stanford.
