pubmed:abstractText |
A number of discordant couples, in whom the man is HIV positive and the woman is HIV negative, wish to have children. To conceive they must abandon protected sex, posing a risk of HIV transmission to the woman and so to the child. In such circumstances purification of spermatozoa ('sperm-washing') to inseminate the woman artificially has been proposed as a method of reducing the risk of transmission. Here we evaluate whether this does represent a true risk reduction.
