A member asked:
Can i have sex with my partner during pregnancy because we are both hiv positive and we are scared that the baby can contract it through sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not an issue: During pregnancy, the baby is sealed up in its own amniotic fluid sac which protects the baby from outside infectious agents. In Addition, the cervix is plugged until right before delivery for the same protectant effect. To protect yourself against other STD's use a condom. Continue taking your HIV treatment meds as prescribed by your Dr. Most HIV Mother to baby transmission occurs at birth.
