Can HIV-positive women become mothers?
Yes, with HIV treatment. Women around the world have safely used antiretroviral drugs in pregnancy now for over 10 years.Currently this usually involves taking at least three anti-HIV drugs, a strategy called combination therapy or HAART. These treatments have completely changed the lives of people with HIV in every country where they are used. Treatment has had an enormous effect on the health of HIV-positive mothers and their children. It has encouraged many women to think about having children (or having children again).
