[Prevention of viral infections transmitted by semen in volunteer donors for assisted reproduction. 2 years' experience].
During a 2 years period the serological markers of viral infections were evaluated in the semen of 24 donors who were involved in assisted reproduction techniques. The presence of cytomegalovirus, hepatitis B virus and human immunodeficiency virus were investigated. The results were as expected, no data of viral infection at the time of donation being found because the study population was a highly selected one. Taking into account all the known microorganisms that can be transmitted through semen, a protocol for the prevention of infections in the mother and in the prospective newborn is suggested.
