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.

Organizations that typically offer support groups include:

The Children's Place Assocation
773-826-1230
www.childrens-place.org

Test Positive Aware Network - TPAN
773-989-9400
www.tpan.com

 

Please directly contact the organizations listed above for more information.
