Does Atripla kill sperm?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Firstly, it is good that you and your husband are looking to the future and planning to have a baby. Many couples living with HIV have had and continue to have healthy HIV negative babies.<\/p>\n<p>In response to your question, there are no studies to show that Atripla kills sperm. The reason why you are not getting pregnant could be due to a number of different factors. These include: whether you are trying to conceive at your most fertile time. This is also known as ovulation. (Ovulation takes place in the middle of your monthly cycle, about 14 days before your period); your age ( generally, the older we get, the less  fertile we become); whether both you and your husband are able to conceive naturally\u00a0 and it can also be down to luck. Some couples only need to have sex once before the woman gets pregnant, whereas it can take many years for other couples to conceive.<\/p>\n<p>Can I ask if you have discussed\u00a0 with your doctor your wish to have a baby? He\/she will be able to confirm the possible reasons why it is taking time for you to conceive. They will then be able to advise you accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>You and your husband may also find it helpful to read our <a href=\"https:\/\/i-base.info\/guides\/pregnancy\/both-hiv-positive\">guide to HIV pregnancy and women&#8217;s health.<\/a> The guide gives detailed information on the different conception options available for a couple like you.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck with your future plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My husband and I are both HIV positive and we are trying for a baby.<\/p>\n<p>I am taking  Atripla.
