People with HIV can donate eggs or sperm to start a family

MariaPCC 15 May 2024

People with HIV are now able to donate their sperm or eggs to their partners, as the law in the UK is updated. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act will be amended to allow people with non-transmissible HIV – with a viral load low enough not to pass on – to donate eggs or sperm, known as gametes, as part of fertility treatment to their partners. Under current rules on in vitro fertilization (IVF), only a male partner with HIV can give their sperm to their female partner and not to anyone else.
