Does my baby have HIV?

Your baby should be tested for HIV at birth, and again four to six weeks later.10

If the result comes back negative, your baby should be tested again at 18 months and/or when you have finished breastfeeding to find out your baby’s final HIV status.11

If any of these tests come back positive, your baby will need to start treatment straight away.12 Talk to your healthcare professional, and attend follow-up appointments to ensure your baby receives treatment.
