Question
My semen is watery, is this the treatment to blame?
25 November 2008. Related: All topics.
Since I started HIV treatment, my semen has turned into watery texture like overdiluted milk, instead of the normal heavy texture. Is this normal with HIV treatment? If so, will it turn back to the original heavy texture? More so, does it mean that I do not have any sperm count at the moment. Have been on treatment for 4 years and have been on Atripila all along and has worked for me well.
Answer
The consistency of semen depends on many things and it can change sometimes.
Changes in your diet is the main factor especially if your are drinking ore or less liquids. The more water you drink, the more watery the semen. Caffeine and alcohol can also affect the texture, making the semen viscous and thick. Age can be a factor too.
Generally, there is nothing to worry about. Neither HIV, nor HIV meds are likely to be causing this. Being more watery does not affect your ‘sperm count’. You are perfectly fine, no worries.
Hi Fredierick, I am sorry to hear about your current circumstances. HIV and/or HIV treatment does not cause the symptoms you have mentioned regarding your sperm. Please speak with your doctor about other possible causes and treatments.

Hi Bongz,
If you’re having issues, please discuss this with your doctor. Your meds won’t be to blame for the change in sperm.
