Indeed, HIV-positive persons can have a child conducting IVF, including same sex couples. Specialized reproduction techniques such as sperm washing could be used to eliminate the risk of HIV transmission.Talk to a fertility specialist, they can offer you a holistic approach and work in conjunction with your infectious diseases specialist to ensure successful conception and pregnancy treatment. HIV-positive individuals have viable parenting options due to the technological developments in reproductive and treatment technologies of HIV.

Hello, You can definitely think of IVF but sperm washing will be required in your case. It is very helpful to understand that sperm washing will reduce the risk but is not a risk-free method as technically, the virus could still be present in the washed sample at a titer below the detection limit of the HIV assay. So consult an HIV specialist to understand the technical details, our page may help you find trustworthy & credible doctors - Hiv Treatment doctors in Mumbai. Hope our answer helps you.
