Abstract
As improvements in antiretroviral therapy continue to extend lifespans and enhance quality of life, more people living with HIV are hoping and planning to become parents. Roughly three-quarters of HIV positive people in the United States are of reproductive age, and multiple recent studies have found that an HIV diagnosis does little to dampen the desire to have a child.
