A member asked:
If you are hiv with an detectable viral load before and at time of birth, does the need for csection decrease? and to what extent? do both birthing options then become equal or is there still a better chance of no transmission via csection?

New answers: If you are receiving HIV medication and have an UNdetectable viral load, you can safely deliver vaginally. However, if your viral load is still detectable (at 38 weeks) a C-section is safer for the baby Check with a high-risk Obstetrician
