Guys,

I was surprized to hear that there would not be physical relationship between sameer and sujata. That shows limited knowledge on HIV/AIDS. Actually, both can have sex using condom and also can have a baby if they want to. Mother to baby transmission rate is 30-35% but still it is a great risk. Nowadays, mother gets antiviral medicines during pregnancy which have been effective many countries in the world. But that too is not 100% successful. There would be other risk while breast feeding . Other alternative is sperm cleansing which is very expensive and I am not sure if it is already accessible in Nepal. Regarding sexual contact between husband and wife, they can have normal relation like other couples. More education and counselling is essential for this couple.
