Becoming a parent is a dream shared by people all over the world. But for decades, an HIV diagnosis meant that having a biological child often felt out of reach. Many HIV-positive individuals and couples were told that parenthood wasn’t possible for them due to concerns about transmission risks.
Today, things have changed in extraordinary ways. Thanks to groundbreaking medical advances, HIV-positive people are now building happy, healthy families of their own. Colombia Surrogacy Partners is proud to help make this dream a reality, offering inclusive and compassionate surrogacy services in Colombia whenever possible.
Curious about how these breakthroughs can open new paths for your family? Let’s explore what’s possible.
How Science Is Opening New Doors for HIV-Positive Aspiring Parents
Science has come a long way, and the latest protocols have completely transformed the outlook for HIV-positive individuals hoping to have children. Treatments and technology can now make it possible to nearly eliminate the risk of passing HIV to partners, surrogates, or babies.
- Advanced screening and sperm washing techniques. Specialized labs can now separate sperm from any potential trace of HIV. These methods are backed by years of research and have been shown to keep everyone safe throughout the assisted reproduction process.
- Viral load management. Today’s antiretroviral medications can lower HIV to “undetectable” levels in the blood. This is key for both personal health and reproductive safety.
- Screening embryos for trace viruses. Clinics can test embryos before implantation through IVF, adding an extra layer of peace of mind for parents and surrogates.
- Support from multidisciplinary teams. Doctors, lab techs, counselors, and legal experts work together to provide medical care.
With these combined steps, having a biological child is now safely possible for many HIV-positive individuals.
How Colombia Is Leading the Way
Colombia is a beacon for inclusive, affordable, and ethical surrogacy. Here’s what sets Colombia—and Colombia Surrogacy Partners—apart for intended parents, including those living with HIV:
- Inclusive legal firm: At Colombia Surrogacy Partners, we believe everyone deserves the chance to be a parent. We support LGBTQ+ individuals, singles, couples, cancer survivors, HIV-positive clients, and more. Compassion and respect are at the heart of our mission.
- Skilled medical teams: We partner with the top-rated clinics in Colombia, known for their use of state-of-the-art labs and strict safety measures.
- Top medical care, affordable costs: Colombia is known for its world-class healthcare, with many clinics rated among the best in South America. The cost of surrogacy in Colombia may also be significantly lower compared to other countries, yet you don’t have to compromise on the quality of care.
- Privacy and respect: We value confidentiality. Our thoroughly screened surrogates and HIPAA-compliant communications should respect your privacy.
The SPAR Program and How It Works
One of the greatest advances in this space is the Special Program of Assisted Reproduction (SPAR). Pioneered by leading reproductive scientists, SPAR offers tested protocols so HIV-positive men can father children safely using assisted reproduction.
Here’s how the process typically works:
- Medical evaluation – Doctors review your health, HIV treatment history, and run tests.
- Semen screening & washing – Multiple semen samples are collected and tested using advanced PCR technology. Sperms that test “undetectable” for the virus are then specially washed in the lab.
- Cryopreservation & shipping – Washed, safe sperm are frozen and can be shipped anywhere in the world, making family-building possible no matter where you live.
- Surrogacy & IVF – Collaborating clinics (including those in Colombia) use these samples for IVF with your chosen surrogate, who is also screened for health and safety.
Colombia Surrogacy Partners works closely with programs like SPAR and maintains partnerships with leading clinics worldwide.
