I'm hiv positive and i just recently gave birth. my baby tested negative want to know when should we do the second test and if the baby needs to be taken to the doctor

Probably yes: Congratulations for your groing family. Whether s/he is free of HIV depends partly on when testing was done. If done soon after birth, additional testing is necessary. You and the baby should both be under care of a doctor or clinic with lots of experience managing HIV. With proper treatment, you should have a normal life span and your baby will remain HIV negative. Good luck!
