Now: Pregnant patients with HIV should be treated as soon as possible to drive down the viral load and prevent maternal fetal transmission. There are specific protocols your doctor should follow based on NIH guidelines. Verify that your hospital has neonatal protocols in place for the delivery to also prevent transmission
