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,
