Sterilisation for People Living with HIV or AIDS

A woman with HIV cannot be sterilised unless she agrees to this. All women, including women with HIV, have the right to have children. If a woman with HIV chooses to get sterilised, the hospital must respect her decision. She does not have to discuss her decision with her husband or get his consent.
