Short Summary
|
Often HIV positive women do not have access to information on their reproductive rights, whether or not they want to have children. It is vital that health services do not discriminate, and support them in making informed choices. This 4-pager aims to help health staff to provide HIV positive women with such information. If a woman living with HIV decides to have children she must be advised on what to do to prevent HIV transmission to the baby, and on any interactions between retroviral medication and pregnancy. Tips on assistance, support and advice around assisted insemination and prenatal care are provided as well as around giving birth and breastfeeding. Advice around types of contraception and safe termination are also given.
