HIV and access to fertility treatment in the European and Swedish contexts

Gigstad, Karli ; Li, Ying ; Thaler, Julia and Irwin, Rachel LU (2023) In Sexual & Reproductive Healthcare 35.
Abstract
Across Europe many people living with HIV face discrimination in accessing fertility treatment. This short communication presents an updated mapping of regulations across Europe, along with a consideration of the Swedish context. Overall, the accessibility and availability of MAR for people living with HIV in Europe is complicated and, in some countries, inconsistent. We encourage sharing best practice from countries with less restricted access. We also call for an end to discrimination based on outdated medical knowledge, and for more clearly defined and readily available guidelines surrounding fertility treatment entitlements for people living with HIV.
