title: [Report of the first case in Poland of pregnancy after intrauterine insemination with semen of a HIV-1 seropositive partner and literature review].
abstract: HIV-1 serodiscordant couples are expressing increased interest in childbearing and many are seeking assisted reproduction. In 1992, Semprini et al. published a protocol for processing semen from HIV-1 seropositive men and reported the first births of healthy children after intrauterine insemination of the female partners with a fraction of motile spermatozoa. We described the first case in Poland of the intrauterine insemination of a female partner HIV(-) with the "washed" sperm of a 28-year old man infected with HIV. The woman gave birth to a healthy boy. Both mother and baby were tested for HIV-1 antibodies at the time of birth and 3 months later; both had negative results. Assisted reproduction techniques, although complicated and expensive are offered to serodiscordant couples as a preventive measure against infection that would result from unprotected intercourse.
