STI testing is not required by Legacy. However, STI screening prior to freezing sperm is required by many fertility clinics where you may want to transfer or use your sample in the future. To ensure your sample can be used at any fertility center or medical practice in the future, we strongly advise STI screening in the 6 months before freezing a sample.
You can do this in 2 ways:
- Via a lab requisition form you can access on your client dashboard
- By talking with your primary care, hormone therapy, or fertility provider
