title: Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus--a new concern for human reproduction?
abstract: The detection of the recently discovered Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV) in human immunodeficiency virus-uninfected donor semen and in blood from a normal blood donor has led us to review this new area of health concern, with emphasis on a number of studies conducted into the presence of the virus in semen and the possibility of transmission during assisted conception procedures.
