To decrease your risk of spreading HIV disease to others, always use an effective barrier method (latex or polyurethane condoms/dental dams) during all sexual activity. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. However, HIV medicines are now usually given to pregnant women with HIV. Treatment has been shown to decrease the risk of HIV transmission to the baby. Nevirapine may be part of that treatment. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
Nevirapine passes into breast milk. Because breast milk can transmit HIV, do not breast-feed.
