Can sepsis make me infertile?

Yes: Fevers over 100.5 can impair sperm production for 3 months after. In females, severe illnesses can also affect ovulation. In either case, fertility should not be permanently impaired.

Highly unlikely: That would be very unlikely if not impossible. I do not think that this anything to worry about.
