Potential damage in the seminal parameters caused by STDs

  AUTOR POTENTIAL DAMAGE IN THE SEMINAL PARAMETERS
HIV Hanson BM, Dorais JA (2017), van Zyl C, Visser MJ (2015) No statistical difference was found.
Frapsauce C et al. (2015) Sperm motility was the only semen parameter that varied significantly according to treatment status.
Wang D et al. (2014) Sperm vitality, sperm mobility (a + b), total sperm mobility and penetration rates were higher in patients with CD4 + > 350 / µl
Rusz A et al. (2012) Ejaculate volume, sperm motility, sperm concentration or normal sperm morphology was significantly correlated with the number of CD4+ blood cells
La Vignera S et al. (2011) All men with AIDS had abnormal leukocytosemia and sperm, and HIV-positive men had a significantly higher percentage of sperm with cytoplasmic droplets, immature germ cells and sperm cells.
Ochsendorf FR (2008) Semen parameters were within normal range in HIV-positive men without symptoms, normal sperm morphology was impaired with disease progression. In patients with AIDS, abnormal sperm and leukocytpermia have been reported.
Waters L et al (2007) In men with advanced HIV infection, low testosterone levels are common. HIV is also associated with reduced semen volume and motility.
Bujan L et al. (2007) Demonstrate changes in sperm motility and ejaculate volume in HIV-1 infected patients, most of whom were receiving antiretroviral therapy.
Umapathy E (2005) Impaired sperm motility in HIV+ men may be mediated by activated seminal leukocytes, which may induce oxidative stress on sperm. Leukocytospermia may be a reliable indicator of HIV+
Fode M et al. (2016) The authors concluded HIV+ men with low CD4 + cell counts or severe symptoms described reductions in semen quality
HPV Lyu et al. (2017) Suggests the presence of the virus in two regions of the equatorial end of the spermatozoa head, may cause damage to semen quality.
Damke et al. (2017) Hypospermia, altered viscosity, high pH and a high number of leukocytes.
Cortés-Gutiérrez et al. (2016) Ddespite the high infection rate among infertile men, there is no increase in DNA fragmentation spermatozoa.
Luttmer et al. (2016), Golob et al. (2014) No significant change was found.
Gizzo et al. (2014) In vitro evidences showed that HPV infected spermatozoa maintains the ability to fertilize oocytes and to express viral genome in the product of conception.
Yang et al. (2013) A loss in motility, vitality and morphology was observed among infected patients.
Garolla et al. (2013) Decrease in progressive sperm motility and a higher rate of ASA on the sperm surface
Garolla et al. (2012) The virus is present in the head, but is not bound to the acrosome, suggesting that HPV infects spermatozoa by primary binding with syndecan-1
CT Sonnenberg et al. (2013) Decreased motility, increased non-viable forms of spermatozoa and increased lipid peroxidation of cell membranes due to elevated IgA levels and DNA fragmentation.
Ahmadi MH et al (2018) Concentration (milions/ml), total count, progressive motility A, progressive motility B, total progressive motility (A + B + C) and morphology.
Joki-Korpela (2009), Bezold et al. (2007), Eley et al. (2005), Bacterial infection may promote deterioration of semen parameters.
Gallegos (2008) DNA fragmentation.
Gunyeli et al. (2011), Hosseinzadeh (2004) Does not change seminal parameters
