The HIV pandemic is still a hot issue in reproductive medicine. High risks of infection of the unborn baby, the inability to endure pregnancy due to the toxic effect of antiviral drugs, the addition of secondary diseases against the background of HIV infection, leading to infertility: according to statistics, about 20% of couples around the world face these obstacles.
But assisted reproductive technologies do not stand still. Today, the happiness of being a parent can be available to everyone. And MILITTA knows how to help you.
What to do if one of partners is HIV positive?
If at the planning stage of pregnancy one of the partners discovered a positive HIV status, the couple needs to reconsider their reproductive plans. The second partner must undergo an HIV test (antibody test or polymerase chain reaction with a search for viral copies).
In the future, the infectious disease doctor supervising the couple will write down the treatment regimen and help to adjust the reproductive plans.
Can HIV-infected women be surrogate mothers?
If, during a check-up examination before participating in a surrogacy program, a woman has antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), then an algorithm is prescribed to her:
- control analysis (PCR for HIV)
- consultation with an infectious disease specialist
If the diagnosis is confirmed, unfortunately, the patient cannot participate in the surrogacy program.
Yes, HIV treatment regimens today include low-toxicity drugs that enable people to live a fulfilling life. But the high risks of a surge in viral load, the possibility of several ways of transmitting HIV to the child (through the placenta or during childbirth), the frequency of concomitant infections can lead to irreversible consequences for the mother and baby.
