Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Among Serodiscordant Couples
This commentary proposes the use of periconception pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in preventing HIV transmission between serodiscordant couples interested in conceiving. While methods such as artificial insemination and sperm washing are alternatives, these are not financially affordable or available for most couples. The authors recommend further study of PrEP to limit HIV transmission, especially in resource limited settings.
