Being Alive Newsletter, Being Alive/Los Angeles - June 1993 Mark Katz, MD and reported by Jim Stoecker
A recent article in the Journal of Infectious Diseases reported on a Stanford study of 36 HIV+ men. Researchers, using highly sophisticated testing techniques, detected HIV in 87% of the semen specimens provided by the men. This detection rate is higher than we have seen in previous studies. In addition, the Stanford study found no correlation between the presence of HIV in the semen and the man's stage of HIV disease or whether he was on an antiviral. Previous studies had said that there was a correlation with use of antivirals and with stage of disease.
