Donor insemination

Donor (artificial) insemination (in = into; seminatus = sown; semen = seed) refers to the deposition of seminal fluid into the vagina by a physician at a time during the menstrual cycle when pregnancy is most likely to occur. 

One risk of artificial insemination is transmission of hepatitis B from semen donors to insemination females. 

To decrease the risk of passing on sexually transmitted diseases, guidelines have been established for screening semen donors.
