If you or your partner are living with HIV and thinking about having a baby we would encourage you to discuss this with your doctor or Specialist nurse beforehand or let them know as soon as you know you are pregnant.
We can give advice on antiretroviral medication in pregnancy, how to become pregnant safely, how to ensure you remain well during pregnancy and how we will work together to prevent mother to child transmission of HIV. 
During pregnancy, the HIV team work closely with the Blossom team based in Princess Royal Maternity and we recommend women living with HIV attend PRMH for antenatal care. We provide a joint clinic with the HIV doctor and nurse, obstetric doctor, midwife and a neonatal doctor (who will look after the baby at birth) and can provide all your care in one place during pregnancy and in the weeks after baby is born.
The team work together to follow national guidelines to look after women living with HIV during pregnancy and more information on these can be found here BHIVA-pregnancy-guidelines-NTS.pdf.pdf
