    Hi Baby -

    CMV status is listed on the donor's profile page, so you would need to click on each donor to view that information.

    Items like hair color and height are pretty straightforward, however CMV status is more complicated and should be discussed with a physician. All of our donors are screened for CMV and we do not accept donors that test positive for an active CMV infection.

    Regards,

    Hi Nicole,

    I'd like to add my thoughts on this. I've been told by my doctor that I have to have a donor that's CMV negative. Before the CCB site update, we used to be able to search on this and it would be enormously helpful to be able to do that again. I know that we can find CMV status by clicking on each individual donor but would much prefer to narrow down my list by this before looking at each donor. For me, and I'm sure for many others, it's much more medically important than the donor's eye color.

    Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide on this.
