Parenthood Is Possible — Even When Living with HIV
Living with HIV does not define your ability to build a family.
Your status does not prevent you from becoming a parent through surrogacy. With current sperm washing technology, both your child and gestational surrogate are at no risk of contracting the virus.
Giving Tree Surrogacy supports HIV-positive individuals and couples with compassion, respect, and the medical advances that make safe, biological parenthood possible — most notably, the Special Program of Assisted Reproduction (SPAR).
Common Concerns, Addressed Directly
Many HIV-positive intended parents come to us with the same handful of questions weighing on them:
-
Will my surrogate be safe?
-
Will my future child be healthy?
-
How do we navigate the legal and medical protocols unique to our situation?
Giving Tree works closely with specialized clinics and experts to make sure every precaution is taken — from thorough medical screening to advanced techniques like sperm washing
What Makes SPAR a Game Changer
SPAR is offered through the Bedford Research Foundation, a facility near Boston that developed advanced testing and sperm washing techniques to isolate healthy sperm and remove viral particles from seminal fluid. The technology has been proven safe and effective, with zero cases of HIV transmission to surrogates or children after thousands of cycles.
