Sperm washing is a laboratory process in which individual sperm cells are separated out from the rest of the semen. The washed sperm produced by this process is used in artificial insemination by the intrauterine insemination technique, and in in vitro fertilization. It can also be used to reduce the risk of HIV transmission from an HIV positive male partner, in which case the washed sperm is introduced into the female partner using an artificial insemination technique.
