Information regarding media attention surrounding sperm donation and genetic conditions

Danish legislation sets high standards for those who can be approved for sperm donation. Donors are screened and evaluated in accordance with applicable regulations at the sperm banks. These examinations include testing for infectious diseases and a selection of the most serious genetically transmissible diseases.

As a patient at Vitanova, you can be confident that we only work with certified sperm banks. Whether you purchase donor straws from the bank yourself, or from strawsin our tank at Vitanova, you can feel safe that it is an approved straw, and of the promised quality.

Recently, the media has focused on women who have been treated with donors who carry genetic conditions that can cause disease in the child. We want to assure our patients that Vitanova always informs our affected patients immediately when we learn that a donor is a carrier of a genetic disease. If you have not been contacted, there is no reason for you to be concerned, but you are of course welcome to contact us if you wish to discuss your individual case.

As a patient, please remember to keep us updated with your contact details.
