Yes. The virus has been found in the breast milk in low concentrations and studies have shown that, 10 to 15% children born to HIV-infected mothers can get HIV infection through breast milk.

The benefits of breast-feeding for both mother and child are well recognized and as effective ARV drugs are available to keep the viral load undetectable in mother,then the risk of transmission is less than 1%.its better to discuss with your doctor whether you breast feed or not

PEP/PrEP

About This Treatment

I offer PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) and PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) as part of our comprehensive HIV prevention services, ensuring that you have access to the most effective tools to protect your health.

PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis):
PEP is an emergency treatment for individuals who may have been exposed to HIV within the last 72 hours. This highly effective regimen involves taking a combination of antiretroviral medications for 28 days to prevent the virus from taking hold. Our expert team will assess your situation and guide you through the process, ensuring prompt treatment and support. Whether it’s due to unprotected sex, sharing needles, or a potential workplace exposure, PEP can significantly reduce your risk of contracting HIV.
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis):
PrEP is a preventive medication recommended for individuals at high risk of HIV exposure. When taken consistently, PrEP can reduce the risk of acquiring HIV by up to 99%. It involves taking a daily pill that helps prevent the virus from establishing itself in the body. Our team offers tailored advice, prescriptions, and regular monitoring to ensure the treatment is effective and well-tolerated. If you're at higher risk, such as those with multiple sexual partners or individuals in serodiscordant relationships (where one partner is HIV-positive), PrEP is a powerful tool for protection.

Our PEP/PrEP services are designed to provide you with not only the medications you need but also personalized counseling, education, and continuous support throughout the treatment. We ensure confidentiality, a compassionate environment, and a commitment to your long-term health. With our expert guidance, you can take proactive steps to safeguard your sexual health and well-being.
