Evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 in Human Semen and Effect on Total Sperm Number: A Prospective Observational Study

Jordan C. Best et al.

Summary: The study investigated the presence of viral RNA in semen and its impact on semen parameters in men with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The results showed that SARS-CoV-2 infection could lower the total sperm number in ejaculate in the acute setting, but the virus was not detected in semen samples from recovered men. Further evaluation is needed to determine if SARS-CoV-2 can affect long-term spermatogenic function.
