Consider this,
A couple, where the male is HIV+ve and the female is perfectly alright, not infected.
Can they have a baby without getting neither the mother nor the baby infected?
Naturally, probably not because, the female will get infected, so by AI(artificial insemination) there is no sexual contact between the two, so the female wouldn't get infected, unless the semen contains the virus( will it? this is my first question)
If we do consider that the mother(female) might get infected, let's try ICSI(intra cytoplasmic sperm injection) where the sperm nucleus is directly injected into the cytoplasm of the ovum(2°oocyte), now will the baby be infected?(I have seen cases where the baby was fine)want to confirm, because my teacher believes that the baby will get infected, and also will the mother get infected?If yes, when?
Thank you in advance
