Yes, It is Possible.

Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus-serodiscordant couples are actively seeking reproductive assistance and often consider or practice unsafe measures to achieve pregnancy. Reproductive issues and concerns unique to these couples need to be addressed before treatment. Assisted reproduction techniques can minimize the risk of infection and complete families associated with serodiscordant couples. Since 1987, more than 4000 published attempts have been reported in which processed spermatozoa from HIV-seropositive men were used to establish pregnancy in HIV-seronegative women. When the female partner is HIV positive, intrauterine insemination (IUI) will suffice in order to prevent horizontal infection. However, when the male partner is HIV positive, a technique developed in Milan over 15years ago, involving sperm washing, is used in order to minimize infection of the healthy partner. Some couples need further treatment, due to inherent infertility, with advanced reproductive technology (ART) procedures, such as IVF or ICSI. Recent innovative approaches such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with antiretroviral drugs may reduce further the susceptibility of the uninfected female partner. Numerous ART centers worldwide treat these couples. Most centers are equipped with separate laboratory space for collecting specimens from infected patients and provide separate storage tanks for freezing infected gametes and embryos in order to protect other patients using the facility. There are no reports of HIV infection of laboratory personnel resulting from processing the gametes/embryos for serodiscordant couples using current laboratory protocols. Cross-contamination of the gametes or embryos of other couples in the same laboratory has also not been reported. The risk is theoretical only, particularly when standard universal precautions are used.
