Did you know that people with HIV can have children without transmitting the virus? This is possible with the help of specialists and an assisted reproduction procedure. Below we will share with you some information so you can learn about the sperm washing process.

At Advanced Fertility Center Cancun we want to help you have the family of your dreams.

Our specialists will give you guidance and will look for a way to help you through the obstacles you encounter during your fertility journey.

What is sperm washing?

This is a procedure where a sperm sample is taken in order to remove viral particles, seminal plasma and cells that may carry HIV. Thus, the sperm are “cleaned” and can be used during a fertility treatment, so that the baby does not receive the virus.

We invite you to read our blog post: Can HIV patients have children? We believe this may be an interesting topic for you.

Why is this procedure performed?

This is ideal for male patients who have been diagnosed with HIV. This procedure is recommended for them so that later, during in vitro fertilization, the sperm can be used to conceive an embryo without the virus.

What other options do HIV patients have?

If a patient who has been diagnosed with the HIV virus wishes to have a baby, he or she has the option of using donor sperm or adopting an embryo. In our fertility clinic we have more options for our patients, so they can decide the best option for them and their partner.

Don’t forget to listen to our episode of our podcast “Uncensored Fertility”: Spermatobioscopy or seminogram.

At Advanced Fertility Center Cancun we have a team of specialists who will offer you the professional and human service you deserve.
