Question: Can a spouse that has been on antiretroviral religiously for the treatment of HIV for about 2 and half years have sex with her spouse to conceive without infecting the husband
Answer: Hi
Theres always a risk of transmitting HIV during unprotected sexual intercourse but this risk is lower if the spouse has a very low viral load
Since the spouse that is HIV positive is the woman Id suggest that artificial insemination be done or still the husband can take post exposure prophylaxis within 72 hours not beyond 72 hours of the sexual intercourse in form of anti retroviral drugs
