Sperm is indeed considered a foreign structure when in the female reproductive system. However, it is not considered an antigen because it does not come into contact with the blood, therefore the antibody process does not happen.

It is because the reproductive tract of female body is covered by a sac where immune cells are very less i.e in negligible quantity so sperm is not recognise as a foreign antigen.

What is the difference between a antigen and a processed antigen?

An antigen can be anything from virus to bacteria to a soluble protein from outside or inside a cell. This includes both foreign and self peptides. An antibody that finds an appropriate antigen will bind to it and your B and T cells determine if it's self or not. A processed antigen came from cytosol. A protein will be taken by ubiquitin to a proteosome where it is broken up into small peptides. These peptides will make their way into the endoplasmic reticulum (through TAP) where they are exposed to MHC's.

Can antibiotics kill sperm?

Yes, but in very small amounts. When semen enters the female reproductive tract from the male, the fluid called semen is made from the fluids inside the male's body. So, if he has taken antibiotics, they would show up in the semen. The thing is that it would be such a small amount that it would be undetectable in the female's blood.
