How can a couple use condoms if they wish to have children?
It is advisable for both the partners to get an HIV test done before planning a child if anyone of them feels that they have been involved in unsafe practices that might have put them to the risk of contracting HIV. If the HIV status is known before the child is planned or conceived, it would help the couple plan their child in a better way. And if the mother is HIV positive, then necessary precautions could be taken to stop the spread of HIV infection to the child.
