A member asked:

4 years after my vasectomy had a pregnancy scare with a one night accident.. took a home sperm analysis kit, showed i'm sperm free. are they accurate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probabily: It is unlikely you have sperm 4 years later and the test probably is right but only way to be absolutely sure is to get a microscopic examination of your semen
