Did you know that expectant mothers living with HIV can reduce the risk of passing HIV to their child to almost zero? This can be done by taking your antiretroviral treatment correctly and following your doctor's advice on how to feed their baby.

This is why it is so important for all expectant mothers like Akudzwe to be tested for HIV during pregnancy. If you're pregnant an HIV test will protect your health and the health of your future baby.

Taking PrEP while not knowing that you are HIV positive is bad for your health.

👉 PrEP has a small amount of antiretroviral treatment (ART) in it, which stops you from getting HIV when taken correctly. But if you already have HIV, taking PrEP could make you more likely to develop HIV drug resistance, which means ART stops working.

👉 Testing regularly while you take PrEP means that you will find out if you are HIV positive as soon as possible, so you can avoid developing HIV drug resistance. Taking PrEP as prescribed will prevent you from getting HIV.
