As a health care assistant I can confirm to you that you can give birth to an Hiv negative baby, there is some medication that you will need to take before conceiving and during pregnancy. The baby too will be given medication to take from birth to 6 weeks, from there the baby will be retested again at 6 weeks… Talk to your gynae they will help you… If your viral load is low then you cannot infect your partner…

You are about to get a lot of hate and ignorant comments. I remember reading that people who have HIV/AIDS are able to work with their doctor so that they can have a baby without passing along the infection. This is a conversation to have with your doctor and not Facebook.

If you’ve been sick and losing weight while stable enough on your treatment to have a baby and your doctor isn’t willing to keep digging to find out why (especially with you being HIV positive) you need another doctor.

Imdont know what rock some of yall been livin under but just because mom has hiv doesnt mean the kids will mybhusband and his two sisters where born clean of hiv when their mom had it I think some of you need to go back and educate yourself on hiv and kindness non the less to the op I wish you the best of luck and to just continue taking care of yourself and taking your medication and talking with drs try to relax stress can affect that and if it happenes it happens i would suggest trying to gain more weight and as you stated you wanted some ideas add ensure or boost to your diet it will help calorie wise take a multivitimen once a day

Well first you gotta figure out why you are throwing up. Something is up because that’s not normal. Maybe get checked again or try a different doctor.

With dr consent, as you should always consult your dr when trying to conceive or change diet/supplements regardless of whether or not you’re hiv positive, start taking prenatal vitamins. I rely heavily on meal supplement drinks for protein too. They have helped me gain back a lot of weight I lost during this pregnancy. Third tri finally back to prepregnancy weight and fighting to stay their. There are a lot of options, talk to your dr and if you feel unsure about their consult then see another to get a second opinion, or third. Better safe than sorry since there is a lot of ignorance out there.
I’m not a medical professional in any sense so I’m just going to send good vibes & wish you well…even if you don’t have a child 
I know pregnancy is hard on my body in the beginning, I’ve had 3 miscarriages & 2 healthy babies. With every pregnancy I was so sick & had to have iv fluids/nutrition & lost a lot of weight. I have no physical medical issues. So maybe, like some others have said, get yourself as healthy as you can physically & try to do something for yourself mentally to relax (not saying you’re mentally ill) so you can be ready for what your body is going to go thru growing a baby. Again, good vibes & good luck!

Please ignore the ignorant comments. Those of us who work in the medical field know HIV parents can give birth to babies who are HIV negative as long as they follow their Drs advice. Please make sure you are 100% healthy first. I know where I am there is a GI bug going around. It maybe you have caught that. Get yourself well. Follow the BRAT diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast) drink lots of fluids to keep yourself hydrated and rest. Once you are back to feeling better and your dr states it’s ok then try again. Good luck to you!

Speak to your ID clinician about your symptoms. They can check your viral load and go from there. Also they can check if you are experiencing any DDIs on your current ART and switch you if necessary. Some ART is even associated with weight gain. Ask your clinician to give you a full MOT and a referral to a dietitian may also be possible.
Good luck

I’m hoping that you’re medicated for HIV. I hear that with regular treatment it can make your viral load undetectable therefore non transmissible. And have also weighed up the risks it will have on your future child…
Do you have regular periods etc? Both of you are good in terms of fertility? You can always ask the doc for something called letrazole (it forces ovulation can also result in multiple babies so just be fair warned) or it just may take time.
Some people are lucky enough to get pregnant at the drop of a hat… but the reality of others is it can take months to years to get pregnant. As for weight gain you want to talk to a dietician and get a proper meal plan that works for you.

Talk to your doctor and to an OB/GYN,
I know that there’s medications that can make the virus almost undetectable, and that it’s possible to have a healthy sex life and even pregnancy with HIV.

I know someone with HIV that recently had a kid, I wish I knew her well enough to ask for you. She definitely conceived naturally because she mentioned it being a surprise. It’s 2021, so I’ll assume you’re medicated. If your current viral load is undetectable, you shouldn’t have to worry about transmission. So as long as you have the anatomy and you’re still getting regular periods, I would say to just track your ovulation and try… But with your current symptoms and condition, I personally think that should take priority over conceiving at the moment. You want to make sure that you’re well enough to handle pregnancy right now. See a doctor and figure out what’s causing your current symptoms first. Good luck, love

I am not sure if the medication you take to keep your viral load down has anything to do with fertility or not. I am assuming you are on the medication and your HIV is no longer detectable. Meaning the chances of passing it to the baby or your partner is next to nothing now. HIV treatment has come SO far compared to what it was years ago. Anyone saying to adopt or get a surrogate must not know this well enough. I work in the medical field. I would start tracking cycles, ovulation and all of that to better understand when you actually ovulate. However, if you are truly wanting to naturally conceive then your doctor and even Obgyn can tell you the actual risks you could face. I highly recommend making an appointment to just discuss the risks that could be associated to having a baby with HIV. Your doctor will tell you everything you need to know and that way you will be armed with the knowledge. I personally know woman who were exactly like you, who went on to have happy and healthy babies. WITH proper monitoring by their doctors. Your doctor would likely want to monitor you closer and keep and eye in levels in your blood. Good luck girl!

I have been HIV positive for 14 years and I have 4 healthy babies. My births were all natural, I kept on my meds, they upped the dose in 3rd trimester, and they give baby a gel around their eyes and such as they’re being born as well to prevent any transfer from mom to baby. However the chance of tranfer is only 1%-2%. Stay up on your daily vitamins, drink water, and all will be ok. Blood test for pregnancy at your doctors office, it will read the exact hormone levels. Best of luck to you and your husband on this journey.

Drink lots of water and get your full night of sleep. Start taking prenatals or folic acid and up your protein and calcium intake. Lots of leafy greens too. If you drink caffeine and alcohol try to cut some of that out of your diet, it helps. There is an app called ovia, its free and it helps you track your fertility cycles. Above all else try not to stress. Sending you well wishes and good luck on your journey to motherhood

Idk how true it is or if it even works but ive heard of inserting a tampon before anything leaks out helps.

But remember to have fun.
There are safe ways to become pregnant with HIV. You have to make sure though your viral load is low. Maybe drink protein shakes with a banana mixed in.

If your partner is HIV negative then I’m pretty sure that you can safely start AR Therapy and it reduces the risk of transmission by a huge amount.

No matter what best wishes to you and if you do become pregnant I truly hope for a happy healthy babe and Mommy!

I wasn’t going to comment… buttt… here I go!
First of all, she didn’t ask any of you ASSHOLES what your opinion was about her conceiving… she asked what she could eat to have a better chance of it! Unless you can comment on that, sit your asses down and STFU! She doesn’t want to adopt, have a surrogate, or anything else y’all think is “Safer”. Babygirl get with your doctor and see what you can do to better your chances, I wish you nothing but LOVE and HAPPINESS in your journey! Don’t listen to miserable people who think that their opinions matter! Oh, btw, I’m sorry for my choice of words.
I don’t have any strong advice but I’ll be rooting for you on the sidelines. Some of these woman are so ignorant, clueless, and gross. They are the ones who keep the stigma going. Science and medicine has come so far along since aids was discovered in the 80s. Take your meds, do what your dr says.
As for now trying to conceive, take a small break, get your weight back up and start some prenatal vitamins. You can have a healthy successful pregnancy. There is always a risk weather it’s HIV involved or not, so should we all stop having children…? Sadly things happen in utero, so why these people want to work you up with their closeted opinions is beyond me.
There has been so much positive advice in this thread. I truly hope you find the answers you are looking for

I don’t have much advice, but I stated in a comment above ^ " there’s MANY ways to lower the risk of passing it to the baby. In the United States, BEFORE effective treatment was available, about 25% of pregnant mothers with HIV passed the virus to their babies. Today, if you take HIV treatment, and have an undetectable viral load, your risk of passing HIV to your baby is less than 1% !

Maybe look into a surrogate, or treatments to help. Goodluck on your journey

And newsflash for you judging pricks; you can have a healthy baby while having HIV and there have been so many advancements with treatment. Like GTFO here with your holier than thou nonsense for real. Oh and one last thing; some of you probably have HIV and don’t even know it cause you lay down with anything that walks. It can lay dormant in your body for 10+ years before its even caught.
Man, yall crack me up. 1-2% risk of transmission. Do you bitch this much about someone with HSV2 getting pregnant? Or someone GBS+? Just curious. There’s risks in everything. Get educated bc half of yall look dumb af.

I know you’re not feeling good, and throwing up, but if you can manage it, start taking pre-natal vitamins now. If you don’t track your periods, start tracking them so you can know what part of your cycle you’re on. There are foods you can eat, if you can keep them down, that will help your body. Here’s some articles explaining the different foods you need during each part of your cycle. If you focus more on whole body health, body, and mind, fertility very likely will follow. Lots of water, elotrolites, and highly nutritious foods will probably be most helpful… again, if you can keep them down. Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t. Smoothies have been suggested. You can try that if it’s easier to keep down. I also recomend ginger in some form, or peppermint tea, if you haven’t tried it. I believe Mommy’s Bliss* makes a tea for nausea. It’s pregnancy safe. Here’s an article to start with.
*Edit: Not Mommy’s Bliss. I can’t remember the name of the tea company that made the tea I used while I was pregnant, and can’t find them on Google, however, Traditional Medicinals is an excellent tea company. I highly recommend their Ginger Aid tea for nausea. Picture in replies.
