Donor Sperm

All sperm donors hold a post-secondary degree or are currently enrolled in a post-secondary program. Under the laws of the Czech Republic, sperm donation is anonymous.

Only sperm from donors examined according to European Parliament and European Council Directive 2004/23/ES and Act No. 296/2008 and Regulation 422/2008 are used in treatments where donated germ cells are required.

Sperm donor screening

All sperm donors are men between 18-35 years of age. Men entering our sperm donor database have undergone the following medical exams and procedures:

• An interview with a psychologist
• Tests for sexually transmitted diseases (HIV, HBsAG, CMV, syphilis, chlamydia)
• Blood and Rh typing
• Genetic disorder screening test (karyotype, gene mutation and cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, Connexin 26 – hereditary deafness)

Reasons for sperm donor treatment

• Testes have been removed, or their function has been compromised by a chemotherapy
• Sperm quality test shows too many abnormalities
• Semen includes no sperm
• The sperm carries a genetic disease
