J21 Tube's video: Man risked his life to have sex with his HIV positive girlfriend

Man 'risked his life' to have sex with his HIV positive girlfriend so they could have a baby Sasha Goodman, 30, contracted HIV from her mother and was diagnosed at five She was bullied throughout her school years and her mother died from AIDS Ms Goodman didn't take her medication properly because of the stigma But she is now an activist and mother of two with low risk of passing on infection A mother with HIV whose boyfriend risked his life to start a family has revealed her partner and their child are free from infection. Sasha Goodman, 30, from Milton Keynes, contracted HIV from her mother in the womb and was diagnosed at five years old. Tormented by bullies throughout her childhood, she didn't take her medication properly as it served as a constant reminder of her illness. But at 20 years old, she realised the severity of her illness when her mother, who also was unmedicated due to stigma, died of AIDS at the age of 42. After meeting partner Jay Hart, 32, seven years ago, Ms Goodman - who has taken pills to suppress the virus since she met him - was surprised when he wasn't fazed by her HIV diagnosis and the pair have since had a child. Ms Goodman, who already had one child before meeting Mr Hart, is speaking out about the disease to break down the stigma. Ms Goodman from Milton Keynes, contracted HIV from her mother in womb and was diagnosed at five years old HIV is spread by certain body fluids, including blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. The National Aids Trust states 97 per cent of people living with HIV who are on treatment are virally suppressed, and the Terrence Higgins Trust claim there is enough robust evidence to say, with confidence, that people on effective HIV treatment can’t pass on the virus. The use of HIV medicines and other strategies have helped to lower the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV to one per cent or less in the US and Europe. Ms Goodman said: 'I never thought I would ever be a mum, I was petrified to have a boyfriend as I didn't want to infect anyone. 'When I met Jay seven years ago in the pub, I did already have my eldest son who I knew didn't have HIV.
