Romance / Re: Help! My Fiance Is HIV Positive, I'm Not; What Do I Do? by ruffcoin99(m): 1:27pm On Mar 23, 2016
[b]OP if you really want to marry her, go through this. Found this online.[/b]


Question from a man like you,

I’m currently dating this woman who has HIV and hepatitis B. She didn’t
tell me she had this. We didn’t have sex as she didn’t want to.

So a couple months went by. We were at her house. Then she told me she had HIV
and hepatitis B. I didn’t know what to say or do. She takes care of herself by taking her meds and eats right.

She says her count is low. I still don’t know what that means. But anyways, I’ve grown to
love and want a future with her.

We had sex a few times after she told me. I used protection. But I love this woman. And I want to marry her someday. And have kids with her.

She had boyfriends before we met and they never got infected.

My question is. Her count is low and if don’t use protection can I get infected. And what about the day I marry her and we want to have kids?

How do we make this happen without me getting infected?

I really love this woman. Please help I’m confused.

Answer

Firstly it is really good that you love and support and want to start a family with your girlfriend. Many sero-different couples (where one is HIV positive and the other is not), continue to have loving relationships.

You mention in your question that your girlfriend’s count is low. Can you please confirm whether you were referring to her CD4 count or her viral load.

CD4 and viral load tests are tests that are used to monitor the health of people living with HIV. CD4 tests measure a person’s immune system. Results are usually given as cells (per cubic mm). Above 500 is considered normal. For someone with HIV above 350 is good. Viral load tests tell you how much virus there is in your body. If someone is on treatment, viral load tests also show how well the treatment is working. The aim of treatment is to get the viral load to undetectable (below 50 copies). If therefore you were referring to your girlfriend as having an undetectable viral load, then this is good.

You mention that your girlfriend is taking meds. Are you referring to ARVs (antiretroviral treatment for HIV)? Being on treatment and having an undetectable viral load dramatically reduces the chance of your girlfriend passing HIV onto you.

In response to your question, it is possible for you and your girlfriend to have a baby without you catching HIV. There are a number of options available to couples like you.

The simplest and safest option which carries no risk to you is Do-it-yourself artificial insemination (self insemination) using a plastic syringe. This is a very safe way to protect you from catching HIV. This
method involves putting your sperm into your girlfriend’s vagina around the time when she is ovulating. Ovulation takes place in the middle of her monthly cycle, about 14 days before her period.

Different clinics may recommend different methods to collect your sperm. One way is to have protected intercourse with a spermicide-free condom. Another is for you to ejaculate into a container. In both cases, you then insert the sperm into your girlfriend’s vagina with a syringe.

For more information on this process and other options available to you, please follow this link to our guide to HIV pregnancy and women’s health.

Your girlfriend may also find it helpful to read the guide as it answers a lot of general questions around HIV and pregnancy.

Good luck with your future plans.
