HIV / SPAR
帮助 HIV 阳性 Intended Parents：Surrogacy 与 SPAR 流程
If you or your partner are living with HIV, parenthood through surrogacy may still be an option for you. The SPAR program was created to allow HIV+ men to build their families, and with Promise Surrogacy's partnership and guidance, we can help you have a family successfully, while protecting surrogates and babies from becoming infected during fertility procedures.
“多年来，我逐渐将Promise的领导团队视为我在surrogacy和IVF领域值得信赖的引路人。我和我丈夫是通过与Promise合作的surrogacy来组建家庭的，当时几乎没有agency愿意以我们所需要的开放态度和专业能力来接纳男同性恋者——更不用说HIV阳性的男同性恋者了。”

什么是 SPAR？
The Special Program of Assisted Reproduction (SPAR) has allowed hundreds of HIV+ men to build their families through surrogacy. Promise Surrogacy is proud to have assisted many couples and individuals through this program since 2009. The goal of the program is to help individuals and couples achieve pregnancy without transmitting the HIV infection to the person carrying the baby or the baby itself.
SPAR is offered in conjunction with the Northwest Fertility Research Lab Clinical Laboratory, which has helped bring hundreds of babies into the world safely through the program with no transmission of the virus. Dr. Helen Marlowe's innovative program combines semen testing and sperm washing for safe fertility procedures.
携带HIV并不妨碍您通过surrogacy安全地拥有孩子。HIV阳性男性也可以通过SPAR项目，借助Promise Surrogacy的surrogacy服务拥有自己的孩子。
SPAR 流程如何运作？
The medical process involves the semen from the Intended Parent being collected and screened. Any samples containing the HIV virus or any other significant pathogen are discarded. It's important to note, on average only 15% of semen samples from an infected male on anti-retroviral therapy actually carry the HIV virus. The healthy sperm is "washed" for added protection; washed sperm is free of semen. The specimen is then frozen for transportation and preservation at a participating clinic where the IVF process takes place.
SPAR 流程的四个步骤是：
2
Collection of specimens, following FDA protocol.
感染 HIV 的父母将前往 Northwest Research Clinic 并留下精液样本。
3
Semen testing.
Semen will then be tested for presence of virus using the PCR HIV DNA assay. Depending on the outcome, it is then "washed" using a centrifuge to separate the sperm from the seminal fluid. Washed sperm are suspended in a new solution and cryopreserved.
4
样本已就绪。
随后，样本将被运送至参与合作的IVF诊所（即intended parents的诊所），用于受精和embryo transfer。

Promise 如何为 SPAR 项目寻找 Surrogates？
每一位通过Promise申请成为Surrogate的女性，都会获得关于SPAR项目的相关信息。对该项目表示兴趣的女性，将有机会与曾参与过SPAR的经验丰富的Surrogate进行交流。所有加入该项目的Surrogate，都将与Marlowe医生进行一次单独咨询，以更详细地了解该项目。
Since the program was created there has not been a single instance of the virus being transmitted to anyone. And not only is the SPAR program safe for the carrier, but it's also safe for the baby born through the process. Not one of the babies and carriers who have gone through this very program has contracted the virus. Learn more about 我们的匹配流程 .

成为父母关于 SPAR 计划的常见问题
You may have further questions about the SPAR program, and below you'll find FAQs from other intended parents. You can read our full list of FAQs about the general surrogacy process from intended parents 这里 .
Promise不会就加入SPAR项目收取任何额外费用。不过，精液检测和精子洗涤程序会产生相应费用。
根据Bedford Labs官网信息，费用因诊所而异。在波士顿，杯式人工授精手术每次费用约为2,000至3,000美元；波士顿地区IVF费用为8,000至10,000美元。您需要提前与诊所做好安排。这些费用不包含在 您与 Promise Surrogacy 合作的 surrogacy 费用 .
Samples are collected and handled at the Bedford Labs in Massachusetts, then they are shipped to the Intended Parents' clinic. So you will travel to MA for the sample collection, but can use a clinic close to where you live for the IVF process.
