Scientists search for dengue in sperm to protect future families
NCT ID NCT03612609
Summary
This small study aimed to find out if the dengue virus can be present in semen during an active infection. Researchers tested 10-15 men with confirmed dengue to see if the virus was in their sperm and if standard sperm washing techniques could remove it. The goal was to better understand how the virus spreads and to improve safety advice for couples considering pregnancy during or after a dengue outbreak.
