  • Title: A study on antisperm antibody in homosexual men.
    Author: Sands M, Phair JP, Hyprikar J, Hansen C, Brown RB.
    Journal: J Med; 1985; 16(4):483-91. PubMed ID: 3868684.
    Abstract:
    Using a hemagglutination assay we surveyed antibody distribution to human sperm antigen in a sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinic population and in an AIDS study group. We found no significant difference for the mean antisperm antibody titres between sexually active heterosexual men, women or homosexual men, homosexual men with or without AIDS, and no correlation between T4/T8 lymphocyte ratios and antibody titres in homosexual men. We conclude that levels of antibody to sperm antigens are not significantly greater in homosexual men and antisperm antibody levels do not correlate with the diagnosis of AIDS.
