Semen alterations in HIV-1 infected men

Abstract: Semen evaluation in a large population of HIV-infected men requesting ART evidenced several alterations. Some of these anomalies might be related to anti-retroviral treatments.

“…4-A recent study [38] showed that the number of CD4+ T lymphocytes is positively correlated with slow progressive motility (component 'b') in ejaculated sperm, and we can hypothesize that nuclear DNA sperm may be altered too. In this study, minimal CD4+ T lymphocyte counts were lower than 26/mm 3 and thus, at this stage of the disease, frequency of opportunistic local or general infections can be increased [39,40] and indirectly correlated with increasing oxidative stress caused by inflammation. A decrease in sperm count was also observed when CD4+ T lymphocyte counts were lower than 200/mm 3 [38].…”

“…En cas de charge virale sémi-nale positive, la qualité du sperme est essentielle (un nombre important de spermatozoïdes doit être testé) et représente un facteur limitant pour de nombreux couples. La plupart des études récentes rapportent une diminution de la mobilité des spermatozoïdes et du volume de l'éjaculat chez les hommes infectés par le VIH [24,25]. La majorité des individus inclus dans ces études étant traités, ces altérations pourraient résul-ter de l'effet des traitements, cumulé ou non à l'effet propre de l'infection.…”

“…One would expect an increase in tubal factor infertility with HIV infection similar to what has been seen in other groups of women with sexually transmitted infections. Among seropositive males, increases in abnormal semen, including decreases in sperm counts, as well as normal sperm morphology and motility have been demonstrated (197,198). Thus, one can expect significant numbers of HIV-infected couples to seek assistance with reproduction because of infertility.…”
