sperm-washing
n.— «In addition to adoption, there is a method called sperm-washing that can be used in such circumstances. While the virus is present in semen, it does not exist in sperm. Through this process, the semen and the sperm are separated. If the sperm test HIV-negative, they can be used for artificial insemination.» —“Enduring love” by Kaley Lyon Kansas State Collegian (Manhattan, Kan.) Feb. 8, 2006.
