HIV Sperm Washing in Bangkok, Thailand
HIV sperm washing is a proven fertility technique that allows HIV-positive men to father children safely through assisted reproduction. At Lifespan Birth in Bangkok, Thailand, we use advanced laboratory methods to separate healthy sperm from seminal fluid, reducing transmission risk and helping couples conceive confidently through IVF or ICSI.
What Is HIV Sperm Washing?
HIV sperm washing is a specialised process that removes the virus from semen by isolating live sperm cells from HIV-carrying seminal fluid. The cleaned sperm can then be used safely for assisted reproductive treatments such as ICSI, IVF, or IUI. This method provides couples affected by HIV the opportunity to have biological children without passing on the virus to their partner or baby.
How the Sperm Washing Process Works
A semen sample is collected in a private, sterile environment at our Bangkok clinic.
The sample undergoes gradient centrifugation and filtering to separate healthy, motile sperm from other seminal components.
The washed sperm is tested using molecular diagnostic tools to ensure it’s free of HIV before being used for fertilization.
Only virus-free sperm are used for IVF or ICSI, ensuring safety for both the mother and the child.
Who Should Consider HIV Sperm Washing?
HIV sperm washing is recommended for:
HIV-positive men who wish to conceive safely with their partner
Couples planning IVF or ICSI treatment in Thailand
Individuals or couples using surrogacy to achieve pregnancy
Anyone seeking to reduce the risk of HIV transmission during conception
