Screening for antibodies to HTLV-III amongst the semen donors of an AID programme.
This study suggests that, at the present time, AID is not likely to be a significant risk factor in the transmission of AIDS in Britain, particularly in centres which are already practising careful screening of semen donors. New facilities which are becoming available for HTLV-III screening should help to provide reassurance that semen donations are free from the virus.
