Evaluating Safer Conception Options for HIV-Serodiscordant Couples (HIV-Infected Female/HIV-Uninfected Male): A Closer Look at Vaginal Insemination

<table>Steps for vaginal insemination of semen: (1) on a fertile day of the menstrual cycle, engage in sex using nonspermicidal condom (water-based lubricated or nonlubricated condom) or semen can be collected from a clean cup after ejaculation. (2) Collect the semen with a plastic needle-less syringe from a condom or clean cup. (3) The female or male partner will insert the syringe with the semen as high as possible into the vagina, ideally immediately after ejaculation. (4) The female partner may lie down for at least thirty minutes after insertion. (5) Steps (1–4) may be repeated every other day during the fertile period.</table>
