I’m HIV positive, and I’m trying to have a child with my husband; we both fit to have a child, but lately, I’ve been feeling sick, I’m vomiting, I don’t want to eat, and I’m losing weight. The doctor said the is nothing wrong, and my pregnancy test came back negative. Please assist with what I can eat or drink to gain weight and to conceive.

Im not sure what you can do to feel better cause I don’t know what’s wrong with you but I just wanted to let you know that it is completely possible to have a baby while hiv positive. Just stay on your meds like you’re supposed too so that you’re undetectable. Is it possible that it’s stress that’s causing it for you?

You should consider adopting, because you can give the baby HIV and that’s not fair at all.

Lots of fruit and veggies. If you can’t eat it make it into a smoothie. Protein shakes for sure. Try eating eggs it’s good protein. If none of that works then (and I know a lot of people are against this) talk to your doctor about trying out some edibles (make sure to read the instructions on the package. A little goes a long ways). It’ll increase your appetite, help with nausea, and it won’t harm you or have any negative effect on your chances of conceiving (some strains make certain people even more horny increasing sex drive and possibility of pregnancy). Plus you can continue to use it while pregnant to help with symptoms and it won’t harm the baby either. Just keep in mind that you could pass HIV to your baby so make sure to have them tested every so often after they’re born.
My guess is it’s the HIV, idk tho.

Are you going to be around long enough for the child why don’t you all adopt a healthy baby instead of bringing a child that will have HIV aids people don’t think about that an it wouldn’t be fair to your children an its selfish of you to want to have a baby knowing it will have Aids.

Well first of all definitely dont listen to the negative people. They have no idea what they are talking about If your Numbers are undetectable and or very low you can definitely have a child. Second if your blood work t cell count and viral load are all normal range there is definitely something else that is affecting your weight and what not it very well could be stress. Talk to your IDS and your PCP to see what can be done. Good Luck
Get a referral to a gastroenterologist. They specialize in tummy troubles and with you having a compromised immune system, a specialist should probably take a look.

So…. I could be misinformed for sure… but can’t you pass that to your baby during birth? Like it’s a guarantee? I’m not going to ask why you would want to bring a child into the world but I am gonna ask why you would want to bring one into the world at a disadvantage like that from birth? I mean zero disrespect. I’m genuinely asking. Think about that humans quality of life being hiv positive from birth on.
Dude smh to some of these comments. She’s asking a question and most of yall are attacking her🖕there’s this thing called antiretroviral therapy or AR you can do to prevent it to getting to your baby. Witch can improve you and your baby’s health. Do y’alls research.

Talk to an HIV specialist. They’re going to have a better idea of what’s going on than everyone else. There’s treatments and medications for people with HIV/AIDS to help them live a comfortable life and prevent passing on the virus. People are going to have a lot to say, but if you guys feel ready to have your own kids then your next step is to talk to an HIV/AIDS specialist

I wish u all the luck and so proud of you😘
HIV is pretty serious but as several people have said there are ways to prevent it from passing to the baby. It would defiantly be a good idea to talk to a specialist on HIV because HIV is already weakening your immune system and on top of that if you do have to do fertility treatments those can effect/lower your immune system. So you’re gonna wanna get your egg count checked and his sperm rate to see there is a possible fertility issue. If so and you need fertility treatments make sure you talk to specialists because it’s a big decision. Plus you’re immune system is effected during a pregnancy as well.

Oh my… Some of you are saying some very hurtful and IGNORANT things.
HIV research and development has come so far that with proper physician supervision, medications, diets, etc, numbers can become nearly undetectable in the host, making it safe to conceive, carry, and deliver a baby.
I dont have any information for you… but wish you the best of luck to you and your developing family!
Nothing is 100% guaranteed. So even with all the preventatives and medications there is still a chance and I think that’s what some people were trying to say.
That was NOT asked lol so to answer the question, I agree a fertility specialist is your next stop. If your dr said nothing is wrong it may be a fertility issue on you or your husband’s end. Surrogacy is a super safe option too as long as you’re both undetectable. Also wouldn’t batter your immune system but would still 100% be yours.
Wow some of you people are dumb. Girl consult your dr ask for help from their dietician Im sure they have one. In the meantime there are tons of protien and supplemental shakes on the market for kids and elderly that are loaded with sugar as well as essential vitamins made especially for nutrition and weight gain. Pedi-sure and Ensure come to mind. Id give that a try and see if it helps. Good luck to you and your husband.

I cannot believe how many uneducated people are on here. As long as you take your medicine as directed the virus level will be so low that it can be undetected and non-transferable!!

Make a plan. Talk to your infectious disease doctor first, make sure you are on the right medicine for being pregnant and also make sure you are undetectable. As you are pregnant you have to make sure you stay on top of talking your medicine. Then if and when you get pregnant and you find an OBGYN make sure you tell him/her about your medical history and then those two doctors will work together pertaining your pregnancy and HIV. As long as you take your medicine and you communicate with your doctors things should go smoothly. And after baby is born, you will be given liquid medicine to give to your baby for 6-8 weeks and then the baby will have to get 2 maybe 3 blood tests done to make sure the baby is negative.

If you dumbasses in the comments aren’t educated on the subject keep yalls two cents to yourself. yall looking real stupid and rude as fuck telling her to adopt instead or asking her why she’d risk her child’s life. Not answering her fucking question just showing yalls asses
Isn’t this a nail page? I seen her post the same question in other groups and it makes me wonder. Smh
I have no answer for the question. But i do want to say this. I ADMIRE your Courage amd Strength to be open about your medical issue. The way you Asked and pronounced your situation put a smile on my face. I could feel the positivity through your words. I will keep you in my prayers for a soon safe pregnancy and that the lord grants you many many years as a mother. Have a blessed day hun.
Have her speak to her infectious disease specialist . If her viral load is undetectable and stays that way ( with proper care) chances of her passing on the virus to her offspring are very low. Also seek advice from a fertility specialist science has come along way we have to put the stigma aside …

good luck on the baby journey

All my test were negative with my first daughter But I knew I was pregnant! I literally woke up and everything looked, sounded, smelled different. I was also sick the entire 9 months !
Advice on the internet from random strangers for this? Listen to your doctor,get another doctor if necessary since they are the medical professionals.I wish you much luck and good health. Get your advice from the professionals though.
These comments are so disgusting!! It’s funny how many Negative Nancy’s had nothing to say after getting their asses educated by smarter people!! Shame on you idiots!!
But to this post definitely talk to your doctor more about it or see an HIV specialist. You just like any other person deserves to bring a child into this world & there are so many way to do so without transferring it to your child. Sending you positive vibes your way💖
Meca it’s a vitamin in Walmart . I tried for 12 years to have a baby took it for two months and was pregnant on the second month. Waited 10 months tried didn’t happen took meca pregnant the first month . To gain weight get u a good protein powder with full milk don’t do ensures they are toxic

My aunt was HIV positive and my cousin was born with HIV.
Her HIV wasn’t even detected until she was 7 months pregnant. It says dormant and doesn’t show up until there’s an issue with your blood cell count…
I get wanting to have a baby, but why would you risk passing it on to your child?
My aunt died of aids in 2012
Granted my cousin is on anti retro virals and numerous medications, but she can never just not be careful and she feels like shit more than she doesn’t.
But that’s my opinion & only my opinion.
You need to find an HIV specialist and work on getting your T Cells where they need to be. There are new medications everyday … Just everyone isn’t so lucky…
God bless.
Keep your back in line helps with pregnancy
Good luck on a baby sweeti fuck them rude ass people

One of my best friends (God rest her soul) was HIV positive and had a beautiful son. Matter of fact by the time she got pregnant she had full blown AIDS. It had to be in God’s plan because she thought for sure she couldn’t conceive and she did. She didn’t do anything differently and also had a drug problem. She was sick during her pregnancy though and for like the last 2 months of her pregnancy she had to stay in the hospital. Don’t lose hope and good luck

You need to discuss with your doctor.
Hi!! I think
It’s important to take-care your self first , check with your doctor to find out what is causing your symptoms. Thyroid problems, anemia, viral load , diabetes , an opportunistic infection… etc. Then when you gain health, start preparing your body for a future pregnancy . With folic acid , multivitamin, iron and of course your antiretroviral in combination with a healthy and valance nutrition. Wish you the best💕
I think you talk more about this with the Doctor. Here you will get a lot of ideas when we don’t know how your health status is right now. Please see your doctor.
