What diseases does Xytex check a donor for?
A. Xytex screens or tests donors for the diseases listed in our “Basic Profile,” in our “Semen Donor Screening Guide”, and in our “Summary of Records”. The diseases are mainly infectious or genetic diseases that a donor could pass on to you or to your offspring. It is important for you to understand that the Xytex search for transmissible diseases is limited to those listed on the Donor Screening Guide. The list includes diseases required by governmental regulations and recommended by American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). Even following these expectations, Xytex cannot guarantee that the donor is free of these diseases; all that can be said is that we have looked for them. This is a very technical matter that you may want to discuss with your health care professional.
