BHIVA guidelines on the management of HIV in pregnancy and the postpartum period 2025

The BHIVA guidelines on the management of HIV in pregnancy and the postpartum period 2025 have now been published and represent a complete revision of the previous edition.

Several sections have been significantly updated, with the addition of new content covering HIV screening during pregnancy, strategies for preventing HIV acquisition, and preconception advice. A major update is the inclusion of a new, expanded, standalone chapter on infant feeding, offering more detailed guidance than before.

We’re proud that the 4M resource on preconception health – developed with Catherine – is cited, along with NOURISH UK resources, which many 4M members contributed to. Sincere thanks to Laura Byrne, 4M Steering Group member, for her outstanding leadership.

The full BHIVA guidelines are now available on the organisation’s website via this link.

Join us to make a change

We set up 4MNet to meet our priority of providing ourselves and our peers with psycho-social, perinatal support, as an essential part of our sexual and reproductive health and rights. This translates into positive outcomes for our babies, extended family and communities.

Core funding especially is an ongoing challenge for small women's rights organisations like ours and your support will go a long way in diversifying our income and sustainability to enable us uphold our Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights throughout our life.
