On December 23, 2017, we learned that an unauthorized third party may have been able to view patient information on a UVA Health System physician’s laptop.
The FBI has advised us that the third party, who has been arrested, did not take, use or share patients’ information in any way. However, as a precaution, we mailed letters to affected patients on Feb. 21, 2018. We also opened a dedicated call center for patients with questions.

Up to 12 percent of men who suffer from infertility have an autoimmune response to their own reproductive cells.
How the Testes Interact with the Immune System
Recent UVA School of Medicine research could be a game-changer when it comes to some cases of male infertility, certain autoimmune diseases and cancer vaccine failure.
Science textbooks note that an impenetrable wall of cells separates the testes from the immune system. But the researchers discovered that this isn’t true: There’s actually a small door in the wall. When testes create sperm, they release antigens, substances that can trigger an immune response, and the immune system ignores them.
Since cancer vaccines target antigens, scientists developing these vaccines need to make sure they’re not targeting the same antigens that the immune system ignores.
In some infertility cases, mens’ immune systems are essentially attacking their sperm. This discovery helps researchers understand how that’s happening, which could lead to new treatments.
Two years ago, UVA researchers also discovered a direct link between the immune system and the brain.
