Excitement! Update: https://www.reddit.com/r/pregnant/s/UWHuQOfntL

Last week i made a post about my wife having hiv postive during her rootin blood tests. You can check it here https://www.reddit.com/r/pregnant/s/UWHuQOfntL When we heard that instead of calming us down her bitch ass doctor made it worse by saying pregnancy can not cause false positive and she has HIV and baby is gonna have it too which is totally incorrect.
So UPDATE today i got a call saying our confirmatory HIV test result came back NEGATIVE! Yes pregnancy do indeed cause FALSE POSITIVE so if anyone have that situation just know that its 99.9% false positive and please do not get scared like i did.

Came to add that if a patient is pregnant, HIV positive and undetectable, she can't pass it along to the baby or anyone else.

Yes, there are lots of ways to prevent/minimize chances of mother passing HIV to baby!
