STIs and pregnancy in Pasto
When you or your partner is pregnant in Pasto, it is one of the most important times for a woman not to get an STI. Having an STI while you are pregnant can cause serious damage to your unborn baby. You should always follow the advice of your Pasto doctor and midwife when you are pregnant, but if you are worried you should test for:
HIV
Herpes (if you have never had herpes before)
Chlamydia
Gonorrhoea
Syphilis
STIs can be passed on to your baby before or during the birth. Most transmissions (passing on to your baby) can be prevented (including HIV) but your midwife needs to know that you have an STI to be able to stop the baby becoming unwell.
