can you become a surrogate if you were diagnosed with HPV?

I have had this before the type that causes abnormal cancer cells in the uterus. It cleared up on it's own and has not show up for 5 years. I am so close to becoming a surrogate but my recent results came back positive. Will they still allow me to become a surrogate?

Because they contain cancer cells, and your tests came back positive, there is a good chance you will not be allowed to become a surrogate.

Usually, I tell those with HPV to simply explain that they have this to the agency/intended parents at the beginning of the relationship, and if you find someone unwilling to work with you, simply move onto another agency/couple that will.

But in this case, you'll need to check with your doctor. If he gives you the "all clear" then proceed to the agency/intended parents/fertility clinic, depending on where you already are in the process.
