Question
Is there a new sperm washing procedure?
27 May 2011. Related: All topics, Pregnancy.
I hear there is a new procedure for sperm washing and a new clinic that does this in Liverpool. How low does the viral load have to be in order to apply?
Answer
Thank you for your question.
There are no new ways of doing sperm washing available in the UK but there are new research programmes looking at natural conception for discordant couples (where one person is positive and the other negative). To find out more about this please follow this link. To be eligible for this service the positive person’s viral load much have been undetectable for over 6 months.
