Using a sperm donor.. verifying the HIV/STD test results??

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
One of the things that really troubled me last time I attempted to find a sperm donor was medical records (like HIV/STD tests)

One potential guy scanned a recent blood test result, it looked above board to me, but I made the mistake of showing someone else, who was trying to find evidence that it was fake, which made me lose confidence.
So now I'm considering using a SD again, can anyone offer some advice - short of ringing the clinic that did the test - of how I can figure out if the results are legit??

thanks

i dont really have any advice, but you think someone who has an std and knows they have an std would go through the trouble to forge a test report saying they don't, and keep going along with an active infection instead of treating it? or not be tested and make up a conterfeit result? or someone with hiv would pursue being a sperm donor to knowingly infect people? i'm not saying that could not happen, but what a sad world it is if any of that is true. and that would definitely not be the sort of dna you'd want to mix your genes with, would it!

In a perfect world everyone would be tested regularly and then not offer if they had these diseases, but unfortanately you can't trust people much anymore.

I found out after the fact someone who offered to donate to me was a serial sperm donor, he donated to so many women that it became a dangerous thing, and he had a habit of harrassing women if they gave up their phone numbers.. I advertised twice and got two replies from him using two different e-mails, he didn't seem "odd".

There's always the disadvantage of finding donors online, It's basically like meeting someone on a dating site and having a child with them a month later, and hoping it won't bite you in the ass later on..
