You could have a healthy baby, but certain tasks must be done before and after you get pregnant. You need to start on treatment, and continue it during the pregnancy. You need to be closely monitored by your doctor now and throughout the pregnancy. Your baby at birth may need to be given several weeks of an anti-HIV medicine. Hope this answers your query.
