Can HIV Treatment Be Paused During Pregnancy For A Few Months?
Question: Hi dr can I stop taking my hiv treatment for a while after giving birth to my child just to rest a little before re-starting again
Brief answer....frankly speaking answer is NO
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query
I have read your query and would like to state that stopping the drug treatment could lead to problems..All postpartum treatment options after the delivery should be discussed with your treating doctor and this involves testing and any drug therapy for your child also.
I hope you understand it very clearly.
You are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
