In a groundbreaking move, people with non-transmissible HIV in the UK are now permitted to donate eggs or sperm to their partners for fertility treatment. This significant change comes as part of an amendment to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act, allowing more individuals, including those in same-sex relationships, to pursue their dreams of starting a family.
Previously, under current rules on in vitro fertilization (IVF), only male partners with HIV could donate sperm to their female partners. However, the amended law now extends this right to individuals with non-transmissible HIV, provided their viral load is low enough not to pass on the virus.
