There are articles out about a sperm-bank in New Zealand. I won't support the validity of this concept with a link. IMO, it's dangerous. The bank will accept sperm from HIV+ men. It's touting undetectable equals untransmittable. They will test to insure donors are undetectable.
I wouldn't trust this. They have no idea of the long term health effects. Several pieces have talked about children born to HIV+ mothers on regimens. The children didn't contract the virus, however it wasn't all clear. These children are at a greater risk for obesity, asthma & cognitive issues. It hasn't been possible for HIV+ women to birth HIV- babies for long, who knows what else will show. Why would anyone think HIV+ sperm, even if undetectable, would be without risks?
OK, that mini-rant is over. I have to be out of here shortly. My roomie's in Fort Smith. We'll spend some time with a friend & then head back. Tomorrow, I'll cook for us.
That's all, take care & if be safe this holiday.
Cya...
