Can i be a surrogate for an HIV positive mother-using her eggs and her parner

A US assisted conception clinic recently refused to help a homosexual male couple, both of whom were HIV-positive, by fertilising an ovum from a woman donor with the sperm of one of the two men and implanting it in a second woman who had agreed to carry the pregnancy. The men contested the decision on the grounds that there were no documented cases of HIV sero-conversion in recipients of gametes from HIV-positive donors, and that the woman was willing to carry the pregnancy. However, although the clinic offers assisted conception for both HIV-discordant heterosexual couples and for same-sex couples, they refused to perform this procedure. They argued that the over-riding ethical consideration in this case was the protection of the surrogate mother from HIV infection. Assuming that her risk of HIV infection outside of the surrogacy arrangement was zero, implantation of the fertilised egg, however much care was taken to reduce the risk of HIV transmission, would result in a higher than zero risk for the woman. The ethics committee of the clinic supported the clinic's decision not to perform the procedure and the reasoning behind it. (1)

Divada,

I don't even know where to start. I am young women that started out life with the hopes of wanting a family when I grew up. To my surprise  at the age of 13 I was diagnosed with being born with out a uterus. This was  very disappointing to me. At the age of 19 my first sexual encounter was horrific and I became HIV positive.Two year later I met my husband who is a great man. He is also HIV positive. When I was diagnosed with HIV I never thought that I would ever find anyone that would love me for me.  I feel like I have two strikes against me. I have always wonder if there are women out there that would be a surrogate for a HIV person. All I have ever wanted was to be a mother. 

lusciousjo, Are you still looking for a surrogate?

I am a 38 year old male who has a very stable job and life in San Diego.  I was raised fairly religious where sex was not discussed, so when I was about 20 and in college, I just thought I was a million miles away from hiv.  Unfortunately, this was not to be.  That was back in 91'.  I've never had an issue with hiv except that I've found it very difficult to find another person in a similar situation.  That being said, I've always wanted a child and could provide for one.   My health has never been an issue and my doctor does not believe it will be as I take very good care of myself. Does anyone know where someone in my shoes could look for a surrogate or someone in a similar situation that wants to share their love with a child of their own?

I am  in a similar situation but I was fortunate enough to have had 2 of my own children. the relationship with the man broke down and I am now married again and my husband wants a child and I have failed in one IVF cycle because of fibroids so now we are looking for a surrogate to help us. the issue still remains if the surrogate is safe from Hiv as I am positive but my husband is not. does any one have any experience/ knowledge of the risks involved, or is willing to help us.

are you in  POSITION TO HELP?  perhaps a positive person can help
