    Can we have babies?
    Hi

    My boyfriend has HIV and I don't.

    Is there any chances for us to have babies with no risk of any infecction for them?

    Please help me we need to know. Its very important for us.

    Is there is any treatment available in United States?

    Well, if you don't have hiv that means you are using condoms?

    If you want to get pregnant then you will not be able to use a condom, therefore, you will contract the virus and pass it on to your baby if one is conceived.

    The simple answer is no. Consider an outside donor or adoption.

    Yes... you can get a referral to a reproductive endocrinologist who has dealt with HIV couples, and inquire about IUI. While it is not automatic that you would become infected through standard sex, you obviously would be taking a chance. If you were to become infected there are several ways to lessen the possibility of transmission to baby. Plenty of HIV women have babies who do not become infected... but of course nothing is 100% fail safe... so "no risk" is not guaranteed.

    You don't think that you could have it with anyone else?
