Of 70 fertility units licensed by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology
Authority in the UK, 58 responded to a questionnaire regarding attitudes
towards human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening and fertility
treatment in HIV positive patients in November 1995. Of these 58 centres,
23 only performed routine screening for HIV for both partners, 24 for
hepatitis B and eight for hepatitis C. In the event of a positive result in
the male, fertility treatment would be offered in the form of donor
insemination (n = 21), intrauterine insemination (IUI) after sperm washing
(n = 21), and in-vitro fertilization (IVF) (n = 1). If the woman was HIV
positive, two centres would offer IUI and three centres IVF. Nine centres
had already provided treatment for couples in whom the male partner was HIV
positive and two centres to HIV positive women.
