Yes,please.I am about to have an IUI, and the sperm comes from the bank that does not test for HPV. What are the chances for me to contract it, in case my donor has it? Also, is there any danger to a fetus/child that might happen as the IUIs result? Thanks!!
Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern of HPV infection as you are going in for GUI. Generally, in most of the Semen Banks, they will screen for the following sexually transmissible infections: HIV-1/2, HTLV-1/2, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, and CMV. Also, they will do a clinical examination for sexually transmitted diseases before taking the semen sample. In case of HPV infection in men, the common presentation is genital warts. Even though it is not tested by laboratory means, such subjects having lesions in genital area indicating sexually transmitted disease should be rejected from sperm donation. Hence, you need not be worried about HPV even though it is not tested in laboratory. You can just confirm weather the center is doing fitness by means of clinical examination. Then you can go ahead with the procedure of GUI. Hope the information provided is clear. All the best.
