Can a 34-year-old woman with HIV safely get pregnant?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through your query and understand your concern. The leading cause is the immunocompromised state due to HIV, which can lead to recurrent infections like bacterial vaginosis and candidiasis. IVF (in-vitro fertilization) is the best option. In IVF, the best sperm and the best egg are selected, so the chances of the baby being abnormal or the embryo being defective are significantly reduced.

Can my 67-year-old mom treat her osteoporosis without HRT?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and can understand your concern. Your mother, being 67 years old, has been diagnosed with osteoporosis. She has a family history of breast cancer, low calcium and vitamin D levels, and has never been on hormone therapy. Hormone therapy is typically started at an earlier age in patients who are approaching menopause and do not have any high-risk medical history.
