Semen virome of men with HIV on or off antiretroviral treatment

Conclusion: Seminal fluid from men with HIV from San Francisco contains nucleic acids from three different DNA viral families. A greater number of viruses, particularly CMV, were shed by participants with detectable HIV viremia (18.9 vs. 0%, P = 0.022). Control of viremia through ART may lower shedding of other viruses in semen in addition to HIV.
