Core Tip	In the present study we found that infertile men experienced oxidative stress evident from increased seminal reactive oxygen species and 8-Isoprostane levels. Infertile men also had shorter telomeres as compared to the controls. Severe oxidative stress negatively affected sperm telomere length but surprisingly mild oxidative stress resulted in lengthening of telomere and thus may aid in maintaining genomic integrity. To the best of our knowledge we are the first to report positive effect of mild oxidative stress on sperm telomere length.
