Abstract

Survey results demonstrate that the majority of fertility clinics in California are willing to care for couples affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) if legal restrictions are removed. In response to scientific advances and evolving clinical standards, California reversed the limitations placed on the provision of assisted reproduction for HIV-positive men in 2008.
