Dla wszystkich przerażonych "śmiercionośnymi" kopertami wyborczymi: World's first HIV-positive sperm bank launches in New Zealand
The sperm bank, called Sperm Positive, was initiated by the New Zealand AIDS Foundation (NZAF), Positive Women Inc and Body Positive.
Each of the three donors who have already signed up have a 'consistently undetectable viral load', meaning the virus cannot be transmitted to others.

What is an undetectable viral load?
An undetectable viral load is where antiretroviral treatment (ART) has reduced your HIV to such small quantities that it can no longer be detected by standard blood tests. People living with HIV who have an undetectable viral load cannot pass HIV on through sex.
Being undetectable does not mean your HIV is cured. There is still HIV in your body, although it has been reduced to very small amounts. This means that if you stop taking treatment, your viral load will increase – affecting your health and making HIV transmittable again.
How will I know if I am undetectable?
The point at which a viral load is classified as being undetectable may vary across different countries depending on the tests available. But so long as your viral load is under 200 copies per millilitre, you’re considered virally suppressed and unable to pass HIV on.
@somekind chciał budować śluzy dla listonosza wraz z urządzeniami, które zdezynfekują korespondencyjne pakiety wyborcze zanim dostanie je do ręki, bo chyba bał się, że nawet jeden egzemplarz wirusa SARS-CoV-2 go od razu zabije. Jak widać Nowa Zelandia nie podziela tego typu obaw (że pojedyncze egzemplarze wirusa są groźne) i pozwala nawet na banki zakażonej HIVem spermy i to mimo tego, że z koronawirusem bardzo mocno walczyli (New Zealand has no new coronavirus cases and just discharged its last hospital patient. Here are the secrets to the country's success.), a ostatnie dwa przypadki określają jako "unacceptable failure" (Two new cases leaving isolation 'an unacceptable failure of the system' - Ardern).
