Undetectable Equals Untransmittable (U=U): Implications for Preconception Counseling for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Serodiscordant Couples

Although limited by society guidelines from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and the Centers for Disease Control in the past, many human immunodeficiency virus serodiscordant American couples who desired future childbearing were referred to Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility specialists for in vitro fertilization. The access to and cost of assisted reproductive technology created a significant barrier to reproductive care in this patient population. New evidence-based guidelines by the Centers for Disease Control, however, endorse condomless intercourse timed to ovulation for human immunodeficiency virus serodiscordant couples with undetectable viral loads on antiretroviral therapy.
