Pregnancy and Beyond

HIV Positive and Pregnant? Or are you, or your partner, HIV positive and you want to get pregnant?

If you were diagnosed while pregnant, are having your first child since your diagnosis, or are living with HIV and planning to get pregnant, we can provide emotional and practical support including information about reducing the risk of onward transmission and treatment options.

Please read our 'The Pregnancy Journey - a practical guide' below, it's full of information to help you have a healthy, happy journey through pregnancy to baby and beyond including many of the questions that are asked by women living with HIV who are planning to have a baby or are pregnant.

One-to-one Support

If you would like to receive support and information or talk to someone else who has had a child whilst living with HIV then please call 020 7713 0444 and ask for Angelina or email anamiba@positivelyuk.org.

Pregnancy Journey Workshops

We also run a series of workshops titled 'The Pregnancy Journey' covering key topics including:
- Preconception planning for healthy and safe conception
- Pregnancy interventions to prevent onward transmission
- Delivery - What are my options?
- After care of both mother and baby

See the calendar below for the details of specific workshops including locations, dates, and times and if you are interested in attending the Pregnancy Journey Workshops then call 020 7713 0444 and ask for Angelina or email anamiba@positivelyuk.org

Were you diagnosed with HIV antenatally or have you had a baby after an HIV diagnosis and would like to help others in a similar situation?

Then why not volunteer your time as a Mentor Mother and make a difference to someone who is HIV positive and pregnant or considering pregnancy?

If you can spare a few hours a week and feel you could use your experience to support others then we'd love to hear from you. You'll be given comprehensive training and continued support as well as the opportunity to develop new skills and meet new people.
