The donated sperm shall be frozen, stored, and quarantined for not less than 6 months. Before frozen sperm is used for artificial insemination, and not less than 6 months after the date of the donation, the health facility or agency shall take a second blood sample from the donor and have that blood sample tested for HIV or an antibody to HIV. If at any time the test results are positive, the health facility or agency licensed under this article shall not use the sperm of the donor for artificial insemination purposes.
(2) A health facility or agency licensed under this article that violates this section shall be liable in a civil action for damages for the loss or damage resulting from the violation.

(b) "HIV" means human immunodeficiency virus.
