Hi!
No, drugs cannot be transferred directly from sperm to fetus. It is not a simple transfer as happens from mother to child through placenta.  However, some drugs can affect the sperm in such a way that if the defect can be transferred to the fetus. On the other hand there are many Y-linked hereditary diseases which can be transferred from father to son as all his sperms will have the genetic defect for that disease. Do discuss this with your doctor.
Take care!
