Since June, the Hospital Francisco Muñiz has an integral service to assist conception for couples with HIV that desire to have children.
This project, novel in the state/public sphere in Argentina, incorporates assisted conception for mixed status couples –fundamentally those in which the male is the one who is infected. The project offers an opportunity to many people that up to now could not find answer in the public system of health. Thus, the project enables an egalitarian access to practices of healthy conception is guaranteed to all the people that request it, independently of their economic condition.
The couples that approach the hospital will receive, in a completely costr-free form, orientation and attention on behalf of a team of specialists in diverse disciplines: psychology, molecular biology, biology, biochemical, fertility, gynecology, urology, andrology, legal attorneys and infectology. All with a common commitment: to minimize the risk of infection of the non-infected member of the couple, reinforcing preventive care and to favor a pregnancy and a labor without complications.
The team of the Hospital Muñiz is coordinated by the doctor Liliana Redini.
