Termination of Pregnancy by Women Living with HIV or AIDS
A woman living with HIV or AIDS may apply for a termination, as without treatment there is a nearly 20% risk of infection to her child. It is possible that she may be able to have a termination even after the 20th week of pregnancy.
A woman can only have a termination after the 20th week of her pregnancy if a doctor, after discussing it with another doctor or a registered midwife, believes that the pregnancy could be dangerous for the woman or could result in a deformed baby.
