RE: Natural Conception Potentially Safe for Mixed-Status Couples

[Guest guest]

Hmmm… note that this sort of

undercuts one of the main rationales in Bragdon v Abbott for the Supreme

Court finding that the HIV+ are disabled….

Natural Conception

Potentially Safe for Mixed-Status Couples (11/07/06)

A new report suggests that natural

conception may be a safe option for heterosexual couples in which one partner

is HIV positive and the other is HIV negative. The conclusions of the Spanish

study reported in the November 1 issue of the Journal

of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes suggest that unprotected

vaginal intercourse to achieve pregnancy, provided that the HIV-positive

partner is on HIV drug treatment and has an undetectable viral load, may be

associated with a minimal risk of HIV transmission
