HIV and pregnancy
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks the immune system and can lead to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Women who are living with HIV can face additional challenges and risks during pregnancy, including the transmission of the virus to their unborn child. However, with proper care and treatment, it is possible to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission and improve the health of both the mother and baby.
