The Pregnancy Journey - a practical guide
If you, or your partner, is HIV positive and you want to get pregnant, or you are pregnant or were diagnosed HIV positive during pregnancy, this leaflet is designed to help you find out information to have a healthy, happy journey through pregnancy to baby and beyond.
We have compiled a selection of some of the many questions that are asked by women living with HIV who are planning to have a baby or are pregnant.
This leaflet was produced by the project “From Pregnancy to Baby and Beyond” at Positively UK in partnership with clinicians to help women make informed choices and
decisions around pregnancy, birth and the care of your baby. Your HIV clinic, midwife, GP and the team of Mentor Mothers at Positively UK are all there
to help and support you on your pregnancy journey.

From Pregnancy to Baby and Beyond: Preliminary Findings from an Evaluation of the Pilot Programme
From Pregnancy to Baby and Beyond was a pilot project by Positively UK. The objectives of the pilot project were to develop an effective and sustainable model of Education, Information and Support and provide tailored peer support to 100 HIV positive women throughout ante- and post-natal care. A prelimary report has been produced, if you are interested in reading the report click here.
Community Innovation: Achieving sexual and reproductive health and rights for women and girls through the HIV response
Compiled by UNAIDS and the ATHENA Network, this report presents case studies pioneering community undertakings to advance women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights through the HIV response and vice-versa, from different community perspectives. This report recognises that women face unique challenges to access and fulfil their sexual and reproductive health and rights, including gender-based violence, and therefore have less access to HIV prevention, care and support services.
Positively UK's Pregnancy and Beyond Project was included in this report. To download the report click here.
