Surrogacy is an important and responsible mission. Giving other couples the opportunity to learn the happiness of parenting, surrogate mothers must 100% protect the unborn baby from dangerous diseases. With the development of medicine, this task has become easier to cope with. Vaccines have appeared for chickenpox, hepatitis B, rubella, influenza and other infections that are fatal to a child.
Conscious mothers-to-be must undergo both the vaccination prescribed by a personal doctor and regularly undergo screening tests.
MILITTA IVF Agency cooperates with leading clinics in Kyiv, equipped with all the necessary equipment. Powerful laboratory complexes, evidence-based obstetricians-gynecologists, experienced therapists: you can be sure that the mother of your future baby is completely healthy.
What examinations for infections do surrogate mothers take?
Surrogate mothers of the MILITTA IVF Agency are regularly examined in the best partner clinics for the following types of infections:
- ELISA for HIV
- Antibodies to viruses of hepatitis B, C
- Antibodies to treponema pallidum (syphilis)
- Analysis of urogenital secretions for chlamydia, gonococcus, Trichomonas
- The titer of antibodies to the TORCH group (toxoplasmosis, rubella, herpes, chlamydia and others)
An obstetrician-gynecologist who monitors pregnancy may also recommend an extended list of studies, depending on the clinical situation.
Hepatitis B and surrogacy
The hepatitis B virus is very resistant to the influence of the external environment (unlike HIV or other viruses of the hepatitis group). You can get infected with it almost everywhere: from the beautician’s office (cuts during manicure, invasive procedures), to the doctor’s office (dental procedures, operations, etc.).
Identified viral copies or antigen to the hepatitis B virus are a contraindication to participation in the surrogacy program. In addition to toxicity to the liver of a pregnant woman, the hepatitis B virus in a child can cause irreversible liver damage, up to and including death.
But conscious surrogate mothers have a reliable and simple way to protect themselves and the child they are ready to give life to. Hepatitis B vaccination is the best solution. The vaccine provides 100% protection against infection, does not require frequent administration and does not cause adverse reactions.
All surrogate mothers working with MILITTA IVF Agency are regularly examined. You can be sure that the future baby is safe.
HIV and surrogacy
Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a contraindication to surrogacy. Yes, today there are drug regimens that reduce the viral load and prevent the transmission of the virus to the unborn baby. But the toxic load, an unexpected jump in the concentration of the virus and other complications still pose a danger to the health of the child.
A vaccine against HIV infection has not yet been created, therefore, responsible surrogate mothers of MILITTA IVF Agency have a negative HIV status, regularly undergo screening examinations and carefully observe safety standards.
