Vitamin Supplementation
Pregnant, HIV-positive women should be encouraged to obtain needed nutrients from a balanced diet. At this time, no specific RDAs are available for pregnant, HIV-positive women. A prenatal multivitamin or micronutrient supplementation is likely to be beneficial and is an easy, cost-effective means to improve maternal and neonatal health. Vitamin supplementation should occur for as much of pregnancy as possible and should continue for three months postpartum.
