topics (OpenAlex): HIV Research and Treatment; Herpesvirus Infections and Treatments; Animal Disease Management and Epidemiology
TL;DR:
Electroejaculates from four specific-pathogen-free males infected with another laboratory strain, FIV-Petaluma, and eight random source males with naturally acquired infections confirm that FIV shedding in semen is not restricted to a specific virus isolate, and swim-up sperm from Fiv- infected cats may be infectious in vitro.
