Q. I am a HIV negative man married to a HIV positive woman. We would like to have a child. Please advice.
Hi,
I am a 26 year old HIV negative man married to a HIV positive woman. We would like to have a child. I want to know if there is any medication that can prevent the child from being infected. Is there any risk of me also getting infected?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Yes there are very good chances of you getting infected with your wife during sexual intercourse.
- So you should take proper precaution before sexual intercourse.
- Yes. Chances of a baby getting infected with HIV from a HIV positive mother are very high.
- You should consult a doctor for your wife's treatment during pregnancy with a drug called Zidovudine to prevent your baby getting infected with HIV and she should not breastfeed her baby.
