Should people with HIV have children?
Thanks:HIV can be transmitted from mother to child. Giving birth to a child can transmit HIV to the child, and it is not advisable to be born with a terminal illness.
An AIDS patient himself should be their own high degree of self-discipline, not to mention the possibility of having children, the scourge of the next generation, since the AIDS itself is difficult to protect themselves, the child to give birth to a child born out of the disease is a constant illness, but there is no cure for the disease, the child is a kind of sin is unfair. It is not clear when this disease will appear, and how to take care of the child.
The incidence of AIDS is increasing every year, and even more so among young people, and this is an incurable and contagious disease to which people should attach great importance, and they should be more careful with themselves.
Childbearing is everyone's right, and AIDS patients are no exception, but it is undeniable that it is extremely risky for AIDS patients to have children. Because one of the ways of transmission of AIDS is from mother to child, it is very cruel to give birth to a child who is likely to be infected with AIDS. Therefore, it is generally not recommended for AIDS patients to have children, but this is not the same as depriving AIDS patients of the right to have children, and whether or not to have children should be weighed according to the individual's situation.
From a medical point of view, female HIV-infected patients, in the case of pregnancy without the use of any anti-AIDS drugs, the chance of transmitting the virus to the child is one-third, in the late stages of pregnancy, if you can take some anti-viral drugs, the risk can be reduced to less than eleven percent, and with the caesarean section and artificial feeding and other protective measures, then the risk of the child's infection of AIDS can be reduced to about two percent, but in the this process, the medication must be used strictly according to the doctor's instructions.
If the man has AIDS and the woman is not infected, then the man can be given antiretroviral treatment before conception and wait until the CD4 and CD8 are higher and more stabilized before semen is extracted, and the semen is processed by sperm washing, which is the process of washing out the HIV virus from the semen. The virus of HIV carriers exists in the seminal plasma, but the sperms are healthy. Sperm washing is to kill the virus in the semen through medical means, extract the healthy sperms without virus, and then carry out in-vitro fertilization through the technique of monosperm injection, cultivate them into embryos and then transplant them to the mother's body, which can usually give birth to a healthy baby.
But these are also feasible only in terms of medical theory, and there are difficulties in the process of actual operation. There is also the problem of being clear that even if the child survives in good health, then he will be at risk of losing his parents and his life will be unfortunate.

If one or both spouses have AIDS, this is unfortunate, but it does not mean that a person with AIDS cannot have a child; according to the current mother-to-child AIDS blocking techniques during pregnancy, the success rate is almost 98%, and the vertical transmission rate is reduced to 2%, and from the point of view of the health of the newborn.It's okay to have a healthy baby., but there are certain risks.
Leaving aside the risks involved, AIDS patients themselves are already under immense pressure even before they give birth to a child, and if they want to give birth to a child, they may have to bear a huge psychological burden, such as facing ethical problems such as social censure and spurning by their family members. It is not only a medical and health problem, but also a social problem.
And again, what are the possible risks of having children with AIDS?
1. Affecting the fetus: For physiological reasons, women are more likely to have AIDS than men, increasing the number of AIDS patients due to childbirth, and because AIDS is mainly transmitted through mother-to-child transmission, blood transmission and sexual transmission. Therefore, for female AIDS patients, without the intervention of blocking technology or unsuccessful blocking, the fetus will have AIDS to a large extent. Because there will always be people in the world who cannot afford interruption techniques, and there will always be people who take a chance on having children, it is not uncommon for children to be born with AIDS.
2. Physical persecution: AIDS patients who are already pregnant may face more physical persecution and life-threatening risks than normal pregnant women, some of whom are forcibly aborted or sterilized, thus depriving them of their reproductive rights.
3. Causing psychological burden: Since AIDS patients' childbirth will bring a series of problems such as fear to the society, they will inevitably be discriminated against, abused for lack of public morality, condemned, etc., which undoubtedly cause a huge psychological burden to their hearts.
4. Impact on society: not every pregnant woman suffering from AIDS can be controlled with anti-blocking drugs HIV will not be transmitted to the fetus through body fluids, if the fetus is born successfully, the fetus that is innocent of congenital AIDS patients, but also may be followed by other diseases, not only to the fetus is unfair, but also to the community to increase the risk of transmission of AIDS to others.
What do I need to be aware of?
1. If one of the spouses has AIDS, pay attention to the AIDS monitoring of the other spouse.
2. It is necessary to go to a regular hospital for regular mother-to-child interruption techniques.
3. It is necessary to set one's mind right.
4. If there is any abnormality during pregnancy, such as fever, rash, multiple ulcers, etc., you must seek medical attention promptly.
Although, the success rate of the mother-to-child blocking technique is high, it does not mean that AIDS can be easily cured and there is still a long way to go.

Every human woman has the right to have a baby, and in the case of people with AIDS, some babies can be born if they are tested and have no HIV.
It is possible for a mother with AIDS to give birth to a healthy baby. The mother-to-child blocking technology is very mature and the success rate of blocking can be over 95%.
What should HIV-infected moms do?
1. HIV-infected pregnant women and their sexual partners need to be diagnosed early and intervene early (HIV testing and medication are free), seek medical help as early as possible, and do not hide their medical history.
2. Free antiviral medication for 6-12 weeks for babies delivered. (Free of charge)
3. Babies born are artificially fed (free formula milk is provided).
4. The child born completes 42 days, March, June, September, December and 18 months of free follow-up testing at the hospital where he/she was delivered to find out the status of the blockage. (Free of charge)
Can people with HIV have children?
Thank you for the invitation! As a medical professional specializing in the treatment and management of HIV, I'll answer your question:.The answer is that you can be born!
At present, the number of AIDS patients in China is increasing, and the need for marriage and childbearing by AIDS patients is in front of us; childbearing and marriage are basic rights and interests of human beings, and in the "Four Frees and One Care" AIDS prevention and treatment policy, it is explicitly stated that the reproductive rights of women infected with HIV should be safeguarded. However, the actual implementation of this policy is fraught with difficulties.
At present, China has carried out mother-to-child interruption of AIDS, which is among the world leaders in terms of success rate and number of people, and in the Yunnan region of China, the mother-to-child interruption work has made significant achievements, which has brought good news to many families with AIDS.
Pre-conception interruption, the choice of a suitable mode of delivery and infant HIV interruption are currently being carried out in our country.
Then the matters that need to be noted are: 1. According to their own family financial situation and support situation, if both sides of the economic difficulties, coupled with the birth of the baby does not have the energy to support the need for careful consideration; 2. The patient's condition, if in the advanced stage of AIDS or opportunistic infections, it is not recommended that the pregnancy; 3. Select the appropriate medical institutions to carry out the mother-child interruption.
Well, I hope that helps!
Follow Dr. Li Ping, I'm here for you on the road to health!
We say that a large proportion of AIDS patients are infected with the disease because of indiscretions in their private lives, especially those who know that they have AIDS but still think about how to infect other people, which is horrible! For such people, I absolutely do not agree that they should give birth to children, even if we say that medical technology can now allow AIDS patients to give birth to healthy children, but the heart cannot be healed.
In the clinical what people can meet, what disease have been cured, only the heart can not be changed and cured, some patients have a serious illness, he knows to be grateful, while some patients you cured him, he still think why so simple disease to cure so long, is not the doctor pit me, this drug is so expensive, always in a victim of psychological problems, really terrible! I remember my first medical malpractice, is because the medicine prescribed with other doctors are not the same, more expensive than other doctors, the patient to hit, and later proved that my medicine is right, cured, but also did not see to say an apology!
I do not advocate those AIDS patients who have obviously gone out to fool around and still show a victimized mentality to give birth to children because I am afraid that innocent children will be implicated and child education will be a problem! But for other patients who are really victimized or unintentionally infected with AIDS, we have no reason to deprive them of their reproductive rights, as long as they follow the strict procedures, they deserve to have a healthy child and family, like some people who are infected with the virus due to previous blood transfusions, sharing of some medical devices, people who are engaged in AIDS prevention and testing, surgeons, people infected with the virus as a result of mother-to-child transmission, and so on... they are just some innocent They are just some innocent victims and you and I have no right to interfere in their lives!
There is a mother-to-child transmission of HIV, which means that HIV-positive mothers transmit HIV to their children during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. The chance of transmission is between 15-45%, although not 100%, but it is not a matter of luck. The average life expectancy of an HIV-positive baby at birth is now ten years, so it is important to prevent HIV transmission from mother to child.
Scientists have not denied HIV-positive mothers the right to have children and have worked to reduce the likelihood of having an AIDS baby. The approach taken now is:
HIV-positive pregnant women take anti-HIV medications during pregnancy, even before they become pregnant, which can greatly reduce the HIV titer in the body, making the risk of HIV transmission to the fetus much lower as well.
At the time of delivery, a cesarean section is performed to reduce the risk of transmission to the child during labor.
After birth, babies are given anti-HIV medication for 4-6 weeks to further reduce the risk of HIV infection.
Infants cannot be breastfed due to the presence of HIV in breast milk.
With the above approach, the risk of mother-to-child transmission can be reduced to less than 1%.
Most anti-HIV drugs are safe for pregnant women and babies and do not increase the risk of birth defects.
Therefore, HIV-positive people can have children and have the right to do so, and can have normal children.
AIDS carriers can have children, but they need to undergo mother-to-child interruption. For AIDS, vertical transmission from mother to child is a very important mode of transmission of AIDS. Although AIDS carriers have not yet developed the disease, they already have HIV in their bodies, which is also contagious, so they need to undergo relevant treatment before they can get pregnant. AIDS patients in the process of pregnancy, childbirth, as well as in the future close life, there is a risk of HIV transmission to the child, so the need for timely mother-to-child interruption, generally after the formal mother-to-child interruption, most of the interruption can be successful.
Many people believe that a child born to an AIDS patient is born with HIV. That is why AIDS patients cannot have children.
But the fact is that examples of healthy babies born to AIDS patients are commonplace around the world.
For women with HIV, a mother-to-child blockade can be implemented with a 95-98% chance of having a healthy baby.
In cases where the mother is healthy and the father has AIDS, a healthy birth can also be achieved through sperm washing techniques.
