For AIDS almost 99% YES, although there is an opinion that it might spread via membrane mucosa, such from Saliva, or oral sex...but my lecturer said it almost safe. and that's why people who are HIV positive still can have Sex, and can marry..no problem! only problem is to getting a child though..but there is an option for adoption  |

Hi guys,and that's why people who are HIV positive still can have Sex, and can marry..no problem! only problem is to getting a child though..but there is an option for adoption I have some information to share. It seems that all of us have this idea that if the husband is HIV positive while the wife is not infected, they cannot have baby as the baby will be HIV positive. This is not true ! They can still have babies ! "If the man has HIV then the only effective way to prevent transmission is sperm washing. This involves separating sperm cells from seminal fluid, and then testing these for HIV before artificial insemination or in vitro fertilisation. Sperm washing is a very effective way to protect both the mother and her baby, but it is only available at a few clinics and can be difficult to access, even in well resourced countries." -adverlet Even when both of the husband and wife are HIV positive, the baby is not 100% for sure will get HIV. The baby still can be a healthy person. They need to consult furthers with their doctor. This post has been edited by rac3r: Jan 14 2009, 10:00 PM |

"Besides sperm, latex condoms act as a barrier to a wide variety of viruses, bacteria, and other infectious particles. By preventing contact with many sores and minimizing the exchange of infectious fluids, condoms can help prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes infection, and genital ulcers. Even though sperm are enormous compared to HIV (see illustration), both are much too small to see. But even HIV, which is among the tiniest of STD organisms, cannot pass through a latex condom."But, condom can still break. The best protection from such diseases is to not have sex or to have a mutually monogamous relationship with someone who is known to be uninfected. However, for those who are sexually active, studies have shown that proper and consistent use of latex condoms is the best defense. This post has been edited by rac3r: Jan 14 2009, 10:00 PM |

Maybe u can contact the number below if u want to wash."There is a cost attached to sperm washing, which as yet is not available on the NHS. Individual health authorities may be approached on the basis of risk reduction. Some health authorities are sympathetic and may agree to fund one or several cycles of IUI with sperm washing. Currently the cost of initial tests and consultations in the C&W programme stands at £570. Each cycle of IUI with sperm washing is £750. All enquiries regarding the C&W sperm washing programme should be directed to the Assisted Conception Unit (telephone 020 8746 8585). " This post has been edited by rac3r: Jan 14 2009, 10:01 PM |

Well.. that is a price to pay for sex. It is always advisable to have a protected sex or even better, no sex before marriage.

The baby still can be a healthy person. They need to consult furthers with their doctor. And yes, a HIV infected mum does not necessarily transmit to her baby for a few reasons. HIV is a very inefficient virus and thus does not ALWAYS spread, however the risk is always there as well. Secondly, by treating the mum with azidothymidine, u can reduce the transmission rate. This coupled with a Ceasarean section at birth and no breastfeeding can minimize the risk of transmission to almost negligible rates. hence the rationale for screening for HIV before marriage, and during antenatal follow up. There is much that can be done to save a baby from being infected by HIV |

PLUS, there's all the adverse effects of Invitro fertilization(IVF) anyway, so it's almost a double risk. Congenital abnormalities... ah well.. you all can read about IVF, it's all there! |

QUOTE(alip5225 @ Jan 23 2009, 11:12 AM) which congenital abnormalities do u mean? down syndrome? actually, guys IUI is not IVF. Intra uterine fertilization is the injection of sperm into the uterus of the woman and allowing fertilization to occur naturally as when you would do it via the conventional manner. Except in this case there is no penetration by the male organ and instead a device is used to place the sperm into the uterus where it would swim to meet the egg in the fallopian tube as per what usually would happen via penetration.IVF on the other hand is in vitro fertilization. This is where the sperm and the egg are harvested from the donors and allowed to fertilize on a petri dish before the viable embryo is implanted back in the uterus. Essentially the difference is the place of fertilization. And the common term test tube baby refers to IVF and not IUI. In a father with AIDS or HIV, the sperm is washed and then placed in the female using IUI and not IVF. And both IUI and IVF are not associated with any increased risk of down syndrome or congenital abnormalities. Essentially, there is an increased risk of miscarriage. Its the cost that is sometimes problematic, and it needs about 3 cycles for a successful pregnancy. |
