SoYouWanna know what medical tests you have to take to donate sperm?

When you go to donate sperm, you'll have to go through a full-fledged, hair-raising, body-invading, pinch-'n'-prodding medical exam. You'll be tested for more things than you want to know, including:

  • ABO-Rh blood typing
  • complete blood count (CBC)
  • chemistry panel
  • cystic fibrosis carrier screening
  • semen analysis
  • sickle cell carrier testing
  • Tay-Sachs carrier testing
  • urinalysis
 

And if you're accepted, then every three months you'll be tested for lotsa stuff, including:

  • ALT
  • chlamydia
  • gonorrhea
  • hepatitis B
  • hepatitis C
  • HIV
  • syphilis

You have one of these, and the ballgame is over. So live cleanly, young jedi.
