Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Virology

Context:

  • Couples with a seropositive spouse face ethical, social, and epidemiological challenges regarding procreation.
  • Understanding HIV presence in semen is crucial for preventing transmission in reproductive contexts.

Purpose:

  • To review biological data on HIV in sperm (non-germinal cells, seminal plasma, spermatozoa) and clinical transmission data.
  • To identify predictable factors influencing sperm infectiousness.
  • To outline medical options for seropositive couples aiming for conception.

Summary:

  • HIV has been detected in various sperm components, including seminal plasma and non-germinal cells.
  • Sexual intercourse and insemination are identified routes of HIV transmission.
