What is SARS-CoV-2 Not Found in Male Semen about?
1) SARS-CoV-2 was not detected in semen samples from 34 Chinese men recovering from COVID-19, with samples collected a median of 31 days after diagnosis. 2) Analysis of gene expression data found sparse expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in the testes, with little overlap between cells expressing each gene. 3) These findings suggest that direct viral entry into testicular cells via the ACE2 receptor is unlikely, but the long-term reproductive effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection remain unknown.
