 Though there may be modestly increased rates of infertility in HIV+ persons on meds many/most women of childbearing age can become pregnant. Many couples require many months/years to conceive. Since there are many causes of infertility besides HIV infection or meds (including fertility issues for male partner) a fertility work-up is recommended to assess status and help optimize chances for successful pregnancy.KH | ||||||||
