How can we have a baby?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>There are a number of different conception options available for couples  like you where one partner is positive and the other is negative.<\/p>\n<p>The simplest and safest option which carries no risk to you is  Do-it-yourself artificial insemination (self insemination) using a plastic  syringe. This is a very safe way to protect you from catching HIV. This<br \/>\nmethod involves putting your sperm into your girlfriend&#8217;s vagina around the  time when she is ovulating. Ovulation takes place in the middle of her  monthly cycle, about 14 days before her period.<\/p>\n<p>Different clinics may recommend different methods to collect your sperm. One way is to have<br \/>\nprotected intercourse with a spermicide-free condom. Another is for you to  ejaculate into a container. In both cases, you then insert the sperm into  your girlfriend&#8217;s vagina with a syringe.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on this process and other options available to you,  please follow this link to our <a href=\"https:\/\/i-base.info\/guides\/pregnancy\/woman-hiv-positive\">guide to HIV pregnancy and women&#8217;s health.<\/a> Your girlfriend may also find it helpful to read the guide as it answers a  lot of general questions around HIV and pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck with your future plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My girlfriend is HIV positive and I am HIV negative.<\/p>\n<p>I want have a baby with her.
