Assisted Reproduction Desires of HIV-Positive Women

Researchers surveyed 500 HIV-positive women in Ontario, Canada regarding their needs, wants, and knowledge around assisted reproduction. Overall, women were interested in obtaining information on ART and pregnancy planning in general but the majority of participants felt those services were not easily accessed. Researchers encourage fertility professionals to be aware of the increase in demand for information on ART from HIV-positive individuals.
