Conceptive Options for People Living with HIV
Chaithongwongwatthana S Mail

Seroconcordant and serodiscordant couples living with HIV should be counseled and informed regarding reproductive health issues, including conceptive options. Assisted conception, sperm washing, timed intercourse, and vaginal self-insemination are options to be considered by HIV-affected couples who wish to conceive with a lowered risk of viral transmission. Preexposure prophylaxis may be an adjunctive method to reduce the risk, particularly among serodiscordant couples.
