With modern medical advancements, an HIV-positive diagnosis is no longer a barrier to motherhood. Through strict Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) protocols, the risk of passing HIV to your baby can be reduced from over 30% down to less than 1%.
At HIV Care India, we guide expecting mothers across Mumbai, Thane, and Navi Mumbai through every trimester with compassionate, specialized prenatal care.
Step-by-Step Prenatal Care Plan for HIV-Positive Mothers
Immediate ART Initiation: If not already on treatment, ART is started immediately to achieve an undetectable viral load before the third trimester.
Routine Viral Load Monitoring: Tested at baseline, 28 weeks, and 36 weeks of pregnancy to ensure complete viral suppression prior to delivery.
Safe Delivery Planning: If viral load is undetectable (<50 \text{ copies/mL}), a vaginal delivery is generally safe. If viral load remains high near term, a planned C-section is recommended.
Post-Natal Infant Prophylaxis: The newborn receives preventive ARV syrup (typically Zidovudine or Nevirapine) for 6 weeks post-birth.
