“…However, electron microscopy and immunocytochemistry studies have provided evidence that HIV-1 can attach to the surface of spermatozoa and enter these cells through the intact plasma membrane (24)(25)(26)). An in vitro study has also demonstrated that spermatozoa from healthy donors may carry HIV-1 on their surface and subsequently transmit it to lymphocytes in culture (104). Although still controversial (258), several lines of evidence suggest that HIV is able to bind to spermatozoa.…”

“…Cependant, après une incubation in vitro avec le VIH, les spermatozoïdes isolés du sperme peuvent fixer le virus à leur surface via des récepteurs cellulaires alternatifs et le transmettre à des cellules cibles telles que les lymphocytes [27] ou les cellules dendritiques qui représentent des cibles privilégiées du virus dans le compartiment génital fémi-nin [28]. Il reste à déterminer si l'adhésion du VIH aux spermatozoïdes peut survenir in vivo dans le sperme, ce fluide ayant la capacité d'inhiber la fixation du virus à différents récepteurs alternatifs [9].…”

“…The lack of CD4, CCR5 or CXCR4 receptors (to which HIV attaches when infecting a target cell) on the surface of spermatozoa is a solid argument in favour of this assumption (Baccetti 1998;Dussaix 1993). However, there are sporadic reports of recognition of viral particles associated with spermatozoa by electron microscopy, or detection of HIV-DNA by PCR in preparations of spermatozoa.…”
