Is IUI with unknown donor sperm safe? Request you to please reply at the earliest.

1. How safe is it to go for IUI with an unknown donor sperm? If that donor is  HIV infected-primary stage (that is before diagnosis is possible) and the sperm is donated before diagnosis, will the inseminated mother will get affected?
2. Is an inseminated mother required to get tested for HIV +ve? If so what is the right time get checked up for?

Contact the doctor that you plan to use for the procedure.

1) No chance of that happening - sperm washing eliminates risk.
2) What is unclear is that of blood donations.Because of NAA testing the risk has been reduced, but i have never heard that donated blood is 100% hiv free.
