Research Question: Is severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) present in semen samples from asymptomatic donors who have positive virus results from nasopharyngeal swabs?
Design: Nasopharyngeal PCR was performed on 1943 sperm donors between January 2021 and March 2022. The result was positive for 140 donations, and the presence of SARS-CoV-2 could be studied in cryopreserved semen from 84 of these donors. This included 67 participants in whom the quality of fresh semen could be compared with the previous donation, the day of the PCR-positive nasopharyngeal sampling and the first subsequent donation.
