Using a three-dimensional formalism that includes relativistic kinematics, the effects of negative-energy states, approximate boosts of the two-body system, and current conservation we calculate the electromagnetic form factors of the deuteron up to Q2=6 GeV2. This is done both in impulse approximation and with a ρπγ meson-exchange current included. The experimentally-measured quantities A, B, and T20 are calculated over the kinematic range probed in recent Jefferson Laboratory experiments. The meson-exchange current provides significant strength in A at large Q2, but has little impact on B or T20.
