 It is complicated. The risk is probably not zero but is very low. Much also has to do with who you want to impregnate. Is this a partner? Is she willing to accept the very small risk of infection? Would she feel better if in addition she took PrEP (HIV medication to prevent infection)? I would talk with your HIV doctor and consider having your partner join the discussion. DW | ||||||||
