title: [Risks in medically-assisted procreation in case of positivity for HIV, hepatitis C virus or hepatitis B virus. The French law at the end of 2001].
abstract: Inclusion of HIV+, HCV+ or HBV+ couples in medically assisted procreation has been allowed by the French law since the publication of some legal texts dates January 12th 1999 and May 2001. This article tries to identify the viral risks of such inclusion and to analyse the answers given by the French law to eliminate these risks.
