Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) should be considered as an option for serodiscordant couples wishing to conceive since most other options (sperm washing and artifical insemination for example) are not viable options for most couples. Especially in countries where HIV is endemic, the use of PrEP to prevent HIV transmission in conjunction with harm reduction programs seems a realistic option.
