It’s great that you and your partner are looking to the future and planning to have a baby. Many sero-different couples have had and continue having health HIV negative babies.<\/p>\n
Tribuss\u00a0 contains the drugs efavirenz, FTC and tenofovir.\u00a0 It is a combination that is now used by many HIV positive pregnant women worldwide. In the past, women wishing to conceive were advised not to use efavirenz, or to switch if they found out they were pregnant whilst taking it.<\/p>\n
However, over the past few years, this advice has now changed. Here in the UK, the current UK guidelines for the management of HIV in pregnancy recommend that efavirenz can continue to be used by women considering pregnancy. They also recommend that efavirenz can be used by women diagnosed HIV positive during pregnancy.<\/p>\n
There are many reports of women throughout the world who have continued taking efavirenz during pregnancy.<\/p>\n
You also asked what the chances are of you not passing HIV onto your partner. Taking ARVs and having an undetectable viral load dramatically reduces the chances of you passing HIV to your partner.<\/p>\n
However, in terms of conception, the options are much simpler and cheaper in a situation like yours.\u00a0 Do-it-yourself artificial insemination (self insemination) using a plastic syringe carries no risk to your partner. This is a very safe way to protect him from HIV. Please follow this link to our guide to HIV pregnancy and women’s health. It provides more detailed information on this method. Hi. I’m currently on Tribuss. CD4 count is 347 viral load undectectable. My partner is negative!<\/p>\n Is it safe to be pregnant while taking such treatment?<\/p>\n And what are the chances of not infecting him?
