Whether people infected with HIV and syphilis can have children has always been a concern of everyone. This kind of disease may be passed to the baby through semen and placenta, so many infected people dare not consider childbearing. But now with three generations of IVF technology, coupled with appropriate medical methods, the risk of infection can be reduced to a very low level, making "giving birth to a healthy baby" something that you dare not imagine becomes something that can be achieved.
The HIV virus may be passed on to the baby through mothers, which was a major problem for people infected with HIV in the past.
HIV,HIV.But now there are medical solutions. As long as preliminary intervention and three-generation test tube screening are done, the risks can be minimized. There are two specific things to do
1. Standardized treatment should be performed first to "suppress" the virus. People infected with HIV must first find an infection doctor for antiretroviral treatment (simply to take special drugs). The core goal is to make the amount of virus in the body so low that it cannot be detected, so that the possibility of virus transmission to the baby can be reduced from the source and lay the foundation for later test tubes.
2. Screening for healthy sperm with sperm washingIf it is a male HIV-infected person, the semen may contain virus particles. At this time,"sperm washing" is needed-professional techniques are used to separate sperm from other substances in semen, and at the same time remove particles that may carry the virus. Finally, clean and healthy sperm are obtained to ensure that the process of combining with the egg is safe.

2. People infected with syphilis: It is recommended to cure the disease before attempting to conceive, in order to reduce the risk of the fetus being infected.
HIV,,,,.Therefore, if people infected with syphilis want to have children, the key is to "cure it first and then use technical intervention."
1. Standardized treatment should be done first, and if the indicators are met,those infected with syphilis must first receive sufficient regular treatment, such as penicillin. Regular re-examination should be carried out after treatment to see if serological indicators (such as RPR titer) have turned negative or stabilized at a very low level, and it will last for a period of time before considering testing tubes. Especially for women infected with syphilis, if syphilis is still active, they must not have children first; if they are discovered after pregnancy, they must treat the baby throughout the process and monitor the baby's condition to avoid harming the fetus.
2. Technical assistance, double controlIf it is a male infected with syphilis, Treponema pallidum may remain in the semen, and sperm washing can also be used to remove the pathogen to ensure sperm health; although syphilis does not change the genes of the embryo, the screening technology of the third generation test tube can By the way, other genetic diseases can be ruled out, coupled with the effect of sperm washing, further reducing the risk of infection and making the baby healthier.

1. Selecting regular hospitalsfor sperm washing and third-generation test tubes is a project with high technical requirements. We must find a hospital with formal reproductive medicine qualifications and a professional infection department team to do it to avoid increasing the risk of infection due to non-standard technology.
2. Strictly monitor the virus.People infected with HIV must insist on taking medicine and regularly check the amount of virus to ensure that treatment is effective; people infected with syphilis must review the indicators according to doctor's advice and confirm that they meet the standards before pushing the test tube. Don't worry.
3. Multi-doctors collaborate to formulate plans.The fertility process requires the participation of reproductive departments, infectious departments, and obstetricians to formulate exclusive plans based on an individual's condition and physical condition to control risks from treatment to pregnancy.
In the past, society had a lot of prejudice against giving birth to people infected with HIV and syphilis, and even the infected people themselves felt that they were "not worthy of having children."
HIV,,“”.But current medical technology has proved that as long as standardized treatment and precise intervention are done, this group of people can fully give birth to healthy babies. Nowadays, many regular hospitals in China have successful cases, and more and more families of infected patients have welcomed healthy children through three generations of test tubes.
,,,.For people infected with HIV and syphilis, the key to realizing their childbearing aspirations is three: standardize treatment as soon as possible, choose the right regular hospital, and trust professional doctors. I hope that every couple who wants to be parents can successfully welcome their little baby with the help of science.
