    These data suggest that spermatozoa are not major targets of HIV infection. Purifying spermatozoa reduced the level of HIV RNA and proviral DNA to below the detection limit of the assays irrespective of the amount of virus present in the unfractionated semen. On the basis of these data we would reco...
