| Summary: | Worldwide, there is an increasing number of people living with HIV and AIDS
especially in the reproductive age group. This has a huge impact when they wish
to start a family. Managing reproductive issues among serodiscordant HIV couples
is complex and often presents as a challenge especially in minimizing the risk
of transmission. We report a case of a HIV positive man and his seronegative
wife who successfully achieve conception and deliver a healthy baby without
disease transmission of HIV to mother or child. Both partners were managed with
treatment where the HIV positive male partner was treated with HAART while
the unaffected female partner was on PrEP and conception was achieved through
intrauterine insemination (IUI). Planning of conception, the use of medications and
options for conception methods will be discussed in detail. |
