Title: HIV+ male and chances of family....
Post by: med forum on July 07, 2006, 08:53:41 am

I was wondering what the chances are nowandays of an HIV+ male and negative female having a family?
My boyfriend found out a few months ago that he is positive  and I found out a few weeks ago from him.
Are there any possibiliities for us to have a family? I've also read many articles about protected and
unprotected sex......what are my chances of becoming infected from him? I've read some conflicting stories.
If anyone could please help, I would be extremely grateful...
