A mother
with HIV is pregnant with her second baby since diagnosis – despite the
risk of passing the virus to her child or husband.
Amanda
Mammadova said ‘it wouldn’t be the end of the world’ if her baby is
born with the illness, adding: ‘Having HIV wouldn’t affect my child’s
life.’
The
34-year-old personal trainer was diagnosed with the virus in 2010 –
just three months after meeting her husband, Turkish native Ali, 29. She
contracted the virus from an ex-partner who unknowingly had the
disease, and although she feared her new boyfriend would call off their
relationship, he vowed to support her. They married eight months later.
Amanda Mammadova, who is HIV positive,
is pregnant with her second child after she and her husband Ali chose
to try and conceive naturally, having done so with their daughter
Saabria
Mrs
Mammadova, from Milton Keynes, already has a 14-year-old daughter from a
previous relationship but her husband agreed to risk getting HIV so
they could have a baby together.
The
couple naturally conceived their now 21-month-old daughter, Saabria,
who was born HIV-free. Despite having unprotected sex, her husband did
not contract the virus either.
