QuestionI an 8 weeks from delivering my baby, and have found out that my husband was seeking out a prostiture. I have no idea if he is telling the truth about nothing happening. Should I get HIV tested before baby is born?
AnswerHi Cindy,
Yes, get tested as soon as possible. If there is a chance that your husband slept with another woman (especially someone who has sex for money) then HIV is always a possibility.
HIV can be transmitted to the baby if the mother is HIV positive, but there are medications that can be given to reduce that risk.
I'm so sorry that you are having to go through this.
Sincerely,
Dorothy H, LCCE
