This concise and practical book is the first of its kind to examine
the use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) in relation to
blood-borne infectious diseases: human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV), hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV). The book opens with
a discussion of the impact of these viruses on male and female
fertility, followed by specific chapters of each of them, including
ART with HIV and HCV serodiscordant couples (where either the male
or female is positive) and the detection and impact of HBV and HCV
in human gametes and embryos. An important character on laboratory
safety when performing ART with blood-borne viruses follows, and
the book concludes with a discussion of ART in austere and
resource-poor settings, where these infections are often dominant
due to lack of treatment and access to vaccines. Written and edited
by an international array of experts in reproductive medicine,
Assisted Reproductive Technologies and Infectious Diseases explores
questions, techniques, and related issues with the aim of
effectively helping clinicians working with serodiscordant couples
wishing to have children.
