    like getting pregnant naturally i would assume there are risks – the only way ou could ensure you are safe is if the donor is able to provide a sexual health certificate – this is of course assumming they have not had unpreotected sex since the certificate – this is something i would definetely ask for. 🙂

    MAke sure donor has recent STD screening. There is really no guarantee as you don’t know what they have done the night before. Most of the donors are clean but there are some serious liars so be careful.

    Its a risk. You decide what your risk appetite is.
