I am married to an HIV neg female. After religiously adhering to ARVs for 8 years and being married for 7 years, we decided to look for info on getting pregnant. The Swiss report was an important tool in making an informed decision, however, American doctors and researchers are apprehensive about releasing information or assisting serodiscordant couples with pre-natal issues. I understand our fear of HIV and lawsuits are to blame, but we need more research and assistance on the issue.
I too was told by(2) Infectious Disease Primary Care Drs.in Miami that I could have safe sex w/ out use of condom now that my numbers were above 600 t-cells & undetectable for over 1 year. I do have safe sex but these doctors were so proud to tell me regardless of what others thought- I was brave going back on meds so I would not infect others if it came to be. Just wanted to share this - it is not just in Switzerland-it is in America. Is there evidance it is present in semen of healthy men?
I greatly appreciate your observations in regard to the Swiss Statement. Just to entertain the possibility of having bare intercourse with my wife--after 15 years of condoms--is exhilarating. I find the Swiss arguement scientifically sound and measured. The dismissal by WHO and UNAIDS is a serious mistake.

This country is full of ignores, lack of educations, and people live with HIV here more likely to be depressed because the ignores
