Mine is not necessarily a comment but rather an enquiry.I read somewhere that HIV positive couples find it hard to conceive. would you please confirm whether this is correct or not and what makes this situation to be so. I have seen evidence that seems to suggest that this could be true but there is no technical explanation that I can give.
While conception isn’t more difficult, certain measures have to be taken to assure baby is healthy and free of infection. If mom is negative and dad is positive, then special measures have to be done to protect mom from the dad’s HIV infection. Having a family while living with HIV is possible and safe.
