Did You Know....




I always wondered how would women who are HIV positive try and have their children. I guess I just figured that they'd always be with someone who like them was HIV positive too. It never processed in my mind that there are people who are HIV positive and are with HIV negative people. When that's the case doctors use artificial insemination, which is when a man's sperm is placed inside a woman's uterus.

If the man is the one who is HIV positive then the only way that they can have a child is by sperm washing. Which is where they take the sperm and separate the sperm from the seminal fluid before doing in vitro. It's a very effective procedure but it's only offered at select clinics and can be very hard to get done.



Me, personally I would be scared to try and have a child if I was HIV positive. Even though there are ways to lower the chance of your child contracting the disease anything above .000% is still too much of a percent to me.

All information was gathered from Avert.org under the tab transmission and testing.

  1. I have been doing some research on pregnant women with HIV and I just don't think its fair for the infants to get the disease. They have to live a miserable life even when there are medications out there. They can increase the life span but does not necessarily improve the health.

  2. Wonderful pictures and some great information, but I am still not learning about you and your growth in this class. You seem to one or the other and you should be doing both each week.

    Isn't zero percent chance a good one? There are women here in Orlando that have given birth to negative children and with the support of their family, will be able to watch them grow up. If I were HIV positive and married, I would want to have a child and would do anything necessary to see to it that the baby was negative.

  3. That is true. I feel like people say a lot of things, including me, that they would or would not do. But, until your in that position you never truly know what you would do.
