“…Because semen is the most common vector of HIV dissemination worldwide (3)(4)(5), preventing HIV transmission by semen is a public health priority. Highly active antiretroviral (ARV) therapy (HAART), although not eradicating the virus, does greatly and rapidly reduce blood and genital secretion viral loads (usually within 1 month) in a majority of patients, leading to undetectable levels in standard assays (6)(7)(8). However, a subset of individuals receiving HAART continue to have detectable virions and infected cells in their semen for months to years after therapy initiation.…”

“…Furthermore, rectal transmission in macaques has been shown to occur with a virus level much lower than that needed for vaginal transmission (22), suggesting that even low levels of HIV in semen may lead to transmission through the rectum. In addition to viral RNA (vRNA) in the cell-free fraction of semen, infected leukocytes harboring HIV DNA and capable of productive infection have been detected in the semen of men receiving HAART (7,(23)(24)(25)(26). Recent evidence indicates that HIV-infected cells in genital secretions could play a role in the sexual transmission of HIV (27)(28)(29).…”

“…Plusieurs études indiquent que le tractus génital masculin pourrait constituer un réservoir pour le VIH. Chez la majorité des patients, un traitement antirétroviral efficace -c'est-à-dire conduisant à une charge virale sanguine dite indétecta-ble, soit inférieure à 50 copies/ml -permet de réduire la charge virale dans le sperme à un niveau dit indétecta-ble (généralement inférieur à 200 copies/ml de sperme) [15]. Cependant, un nombre croissant d'études a mis en évidence la persistance du VIH (sous forme d'ARN viral et de cellules infectées) dans le sperme d'environ 5 à 10 % des patients sous ART efficace depuis au moins 6 mois, voire depuis plusieurs années [16,17] (réfé-rences antérieures dans [2]) (Tableau I).…”

“…Lors de l'initiation d'une thérapie antirétrovirale efficace, la charge virale dans le sperme diminue en quelques semaines de façon spectaculaire [27]. Cependant de l'ARN VIH ou de l'ADN VIH est retrouvé de façon persistante dans le sperme d'environ 5 % des hommes traités présentant une charge virale sanguine indétectable, le compartiment génital constituant un réservoir de ce virus [27,28]. Ces données justifient :…”
