Support Groups
We recommend that you seek out a support group (online or in person). HIV and pregnancy can be very isolating. There are professionals that can help you talk about your feelings, talk to your partner about your diagnosis, safe sex and dealing with learning about your diagnosis during pregnancy. Many women find out about their status through prenatal testing. You are not alone. Ask your nurse, social worker or case manager to help connect you to support groups in your area.
