HIV virus does not contaminate the sperm cells. They are controlled by a seminal fluid as living microscopic bodies. Since there are no chances of the sperm cells getting infected by HIV virus, sperm washing is done to treat this issue.
Sperm washing is an advanced medical procedure carried out during the procedure of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). It reduces the risk of HIV transmission from the father to the child or to the surrogate mother. The female who carries the child in her womb during the entire process should be well taken care of as she may not be under the risk of HIV virus. Sperm cells are not affected by HIV virus as they are immune to it. The sperm cells are isolated from the seminal fluid that they float on as viral bodies. This mitigates the chances HIV transmission from the male IP to the surrogate mother or the mother during the process of fertilization. The advanced technique of sperm washing has been accolade by medical experts around the world. It is an approved technique entirely protecting the embryo from the infection of HIV.
HIV virus attacks the body immunity and totally destroys it the moment it enters the blood stream. It stays dormant initially and shows its true colors once the favorable conditions for it appear. It disables the immunity system and grabs control over the T cells of C D cells.
It slowly spreads into the body by recurrence and entirely destroys the C D 4 cells. The person, hence becomes unguarded to diseases and can be killed by simplest ailments.
