Can I have a HIV negative child though my husband is HIV positive?


Q: I am a 33 years old married woman having HIV negative status but my husband is HIV positive. Can we have a HIV negative child?

A:Yes, you can bear a HIV negative child. For this, you will have to consult a gynaecologist in a nearby medical college who will advise you when to have sex without a condom and when you can become pregnant, and what else more to do. There are medicines and other interventions available currently, which will reduce chances of you/your baby getting the HIV infection to a very great extent.
