There are no published studies of fertility measurements in people living with perinatally acquired HIV (PaHIV). We performed fertility investigations in 25 adults with PaHIV. Seven (78%) men had sperm morphology normal forms (%) below the fifth centile for the general population with four (44%) having no normal forms. Mean (SD) serum anti-Müllerian hormone level was 19.4 (9.5) pmol/l; lower than expected for this age group. A larger study is needed to verify our findings.
