Semen is the body fluid most commonly associated with sexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1).
Because the male genitourinary tract is distinct immunologically from blood, compartment-dependent factors may determine HIV-1 shedding in semen.
To identify these factors, the authors obtained 411 semen and blood specimens from 149 men seen up to three times.
Seminal plasma was assayed for HIV-RNA and semen was cocultured for HIV-1 and cytomegalovirus (CMV), which may up-regulate HIV-1 replication.
The best multivariate model for predicting a positive semen HIV-1 coculture included two local urogenital factors, increased seminal polymorphonuclear cell count (odds ratio (OR)=12.6 for each log10 increase/mL, 95% confidence interval (Cl) 12.2,134.5) and a positive CMV coculture (OR=3.0,95% Cl 1.2,7.7).
The best multivariate model for predicting semen HIV-1 RNA included two systemic host factors, CD4+cell counts<200/muliter (OR=3.0,95 percent Cl 1.3,6.9) and nucleoside antiretroviral therapy (monotherapy : OR=0.5,95% CI 0.3,1.0 ; combination therapy : OR=0.4,95% CI 0.2,0.9), and a positive CMV coculture (OR=1.7,95% Cl 1.0,3.0).
Thus, both systemic and local genitourinary tract factors influence the risk of semen HIV-1 shedding.
These findings suggest that measures of systemic virus burden alone may not predict semen infectivity reliably.
