A member asked:
If a sperm donor has herpes, will the donation infect the woman?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Semen herpes: Probably not since the virus is typically located on genital skin and semen is extruded through the urethra. Also, the sperm is processed from the semen specimen before it is used.
