title: [The desire to become a parent when infected with human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C virus or hepatitis B virus].
abstract: The French law (arrêté du 10 mai 2001) allows Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) in case of infection with human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C virus or hepatitis B virus. Our six years' experience is positive even if pluridisciplinary care needs specific equipment and human forces. Couples express high motivation. The wish to become a parent leads to a better care of the infection. ART results are excellent in case of male contamination, not as good when the female partner is infected but still encouraging. No contamination of the partner or the offspring occurred after ART. Data are already collected in France in this context. A European register should be constituted in an early future.
