Abstract

For the evaluation of a possible relationship between antisperm antibodies and LAV/HTLV-III antibodies, both markers were determined in the sera of 89 homosexual men. Thirty-one of 89 men (35%) had sperm antibodies in their sera, and 21 of 89 men (24%) had LAV/HTLV-III antibodies. There was no significant relationship between the occurrence of both kinds of antibodies, so that infection with the LAV/HTLV-III retrovirus in homosexual men seems not be influenced by the presence of antisperm antibodies.
