Who can be a sperm donor in Hungary? What is the screening process for sperm donors?
Only males, under the age of 35 who are absolutely healthy can become donors! Consequently, the check-up of donors is a multi-stage process. The donor bank performs a detailed medical examination. The first step of the medical examination is an andrological check-up linked to a sperm examination. This is followed by a genetical and psychological examination. It is not acceptable that a donor may suffer from hereditary diseases; likewise, he should be completely healthy mentally as well. Parallel with this the sperm bank is convinced by means of laboratory examinations that the candidate does not carry diseases which could be transmitted sexually. The AIDS test has a great importance among these check-ups. If so far the candidate complies with the requirements, he gains admittance into the donor bank where he is handled anonymously and recognised only by a code number.
