Have a question?
- I heard that kids born with HIV have a different kind of virus, is this true? Could you please direct me how to find information on kids born with HIV?

- I am the uninfected partner in a serodiscordant couple. My husband and I are interested in having another child (we have one that was conceived and born before he was diagnosed). I have found a lab that will perform the sperm wash but am having no luck finding a doctor or clinic that will perform the insemination. Taking our chances with his undetectable viral load and my fertile periods is not an option he is willing to risk.

- I was wondering what are the chances of infection if someone has been on medication for approximately 8 years and there is no viral load detected and he/she wants to get pregnant or impregnate someone?

- When women infected with HIV experience frequent yeast infections, do they eventually stop happening? I keep reading they can be an early sign of HIV...

- Could you help me with a list of HIV meds that work well for a person with severe Hemophilia? I ask this question because I was told there are some anti-HIV meds that increase internal bleeding for hemophilics.
