Frequently asked question: Will you be able to have children in the future if you have HIV?

At some point you might want to know whether you can become a mother or a father in the future. The good news is that, fortunately, it is possible to have healthy children, when you are HIV infected. However, a few measures do need to be taken. Discuss the different options with your doctor, HIV consultant or gynecologist. In addition to the risks of HIV transmission (between you and your partner and from mother to child), your own state of health is also important. Your body must be able to cope with a pregnancy.
