Does the time it takes to do sperm washing to eliminate HIV affect the quality of the eggs?

No, because it is taken into account when programming the woman's follicular puncture. In addition, the sperm sample is often frozen to ensure that on the day the eggs are obtained, a sample free of viral particles will be available.
