ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND INFECTIO...

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.
