Ainara joins us to share her powerful story of being denied IVF in Ireland solely because she is HIV positive, a decision rooted in outdated laws, not modern science.

We unpack the misconceptions, the medical truths, and the emotional toll of being told she cannot access fertility treatment in her own country.

This episode shines a light on stigma, inequality, and the reality for people living with HIV who simply want the chance to build a family.
