Result of Seroprevalence of HIV amongst Undergraduate Students of Government Approved Private University in Edo State

The seroprevalence of HIV amongst undergraduate students of a Government Approved University of Edo State was studied. Out of 1020 students randomly selected from the various faculties or departments; qualitative detection of anti bodies to HIV were detected in (4.3) male and (2.3) female. There was a significant difference in seroprevalence rate between the male students and female category as P0.05. The main findings in this seroprevalence rate among male and female is with the prospect of further spread of the infection

Incidence of Sexually Transmitted Diseases amongst Potential Semen Donors in University of Benin Tissue Donors Benin City; Nigeria

The incidence of Sexually Transmitted Diseases in Prospective Semen Donors where investigated using Standard Laboratory Procedures. 30 Prospective Semen Donors were screened for common STDs/STI at the Human Reproductive Research Programme /Invitro Fertilization Centre of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital. The incidence rates are Staphylococcus aureus (20); followed by Chlamydia trachomatis (6.7) while Klebsiellia spp; Treponema pallidum; Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV); Escherichia coli and Hepatitis B Virus were detected with incidence rate of 3.3each respectively. Ten percent (10) of the prospective semen donors had evidence of polymicrobial infection excluding HIV. The risk of sexually transmitted diseases or infection should be of great concern to couples undergoing therapeutic artificial donor insemination

Bacteriospermia and sperm quality in infertile male patient at University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria

Male Urogenital tract infection plays an important role in men infertility. Asymptomtic bacteriospermia has been regarded as of the contributing factor to male infertility. In this study, 87 semen samples of infertile men attending the Human Reproduction Research Programme and Invitrofertilization unit (HRRP/IVF) of University Benin Teaching Hospital were evaluated Bacteriologically using standard Bacterial culture method. Standard semen analysis was performed according to WHO guidelines. Among the total cases, 36 (41.4%) showed at least one pathogen. Staphylococcus aureus (16.1%), Staphylococcus Saprophyticus (9.1%), Escherichia Coli (6.9%) Proteus mirabilis (3.4%) Klebsiella spp (2.3%) Pseudomonas aerouginosa (1.1%) and Proteus vulgaris (2.3%). There was a significant relation between bacteriospermia and the rate of number of total motility and morphologically abnormal sperms (p 0.05). It seems that leukocytopermia is not a good maker to predict bacteriospermia.
