Answer

Answer: Angelina Namiba

There are a number of conception options available for sero-different couples who plan to have a baby. (These are couples where one partner is HIV negative and the other is not). However, the options depend on a number of factors including  whether the man is taking ARVs(antiretroviral treatment for HIV).

Please follow this link to our guide to HIV pregnancy and women’s health. It provides information on the options available for sero-different couples wishing to conceive. It also has a full list of the conditions that need to be present.

Good luck with your future plans.
