| Response from Dr. Young
 Hello and thanks for your post. Yes, indeed, it's possible to have children in HIV+/HIV- relationships. There are a number of ways to achieve this, ranging from sperm washing with in vitro fertilization to timed unprotected sex (with or without pre- or post-exposure prophylaxis)--strategies that lower your risk of getting HIV from your husband. In either circumstance, I'd talk to doctors expert in HIV and pregnancy; you want experienced health care providers here. The worst thing that could happen is that you acquire HIV. Be well, BY | ||||||||
