Primary Outcomes

Description: The search for the SARS-CoV-2 virus in semen will be carried out by RT-PCR analysis with the RealStar kit developed by Altona Diagnostics. The extraction of the nucleic acid suitable for sperm uses the Pure MagNA technique (Diagnostics ROCHE). This is an extraction technique that has already been validated for HIV-type RNA viruses in semen. The biological samples will be analysed either during the study or bio-banked and analysed at the end of the study. Only semen samples from patients detected positive for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR on nasopharyngeal swab will be analyzed.

Measure: Testing for the presence of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 virus) in the semen

Time: 48 hours

---

Description: Patients who have been found to carry the SARS-CoV-2 virus in their semen will be recalled after one month to re-test for the virus. In case of a positive re-test, a new search will be scheduled and so on until a negative result is found.

Measure: Kinetics of SARS-CoV-2 virus presence in the semen

Time: 1 month
