Brief Answer:
It depends on whether the mother is taking treatment for HIV or not.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome to HCM.

The chances of safe pregnancy in HIV depends on the treatment status of mother. If the mother is not taking treatment, 25 percent of babies born to women with HIV will be infected by the virus. With treatment the figure can be reduced to only 2 percent. For any further query you can get back to me any time.

Brief Answer:
Yes with treatment HIV patient can lead completely normal life.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.

A person with diagnosed HIV can definitely lead a normal life without any fear. The only condition is that the patient must strictly adhere to therapy and follow the advice as given by the doctor.

With proper treatment in the form of ART which is freely available at all government hospitals, CD4 count of patient should remain at good level. So don't worry and start treatment at the earliest. For any further query you can get back to me any time.
