title: [Management of an HTLV-1 infected man in assisted reproductive technology].
abstract: Management of people infected by HTLV-1 in assisted reproductive technology (ART) is a rare event. Since HTLV is sexually transmitted, HTLV serodiscordant couples have to systematically use condoms. The sperm processing (centrifugation on density gradient) performed for semen of HIV-infected men was applied. Detection of HTLV-1 provirus DNA was negative before and after sperm processing, allowing ART.
