Avatar f tn its wrong to purposely use blood donation for getting your status, what if you were truly positive and were neg at the time of donation., would it make you feel good to infect someone.
Avatar f tn Answer the questionnaire at the blood bank truthfully to ascertain whether you can give blood or not. There is perhaps a sample questionnaire from your local blood transfusion service on the web.
Avatar n tn Im getting married by the end of this year and someone advised me to stop donating blood as it can lead to irregular periods and problems in conceiving (this lady had similar problems and was advised by her gyn to stop blood donation). Is ths something which happens to a lot of women?
Avatar m tn Hi Bud, and welcome! Sorry to hear that you've had a relapse. From what you've said, it sounds like you're pretty confident donating blood has had at least somewhat of an impact on your symptoms, and I would probably agree. However, there could have been other factors as well, such as the running/exercise. Maybe next time you should try 2 weeks of resting after donating blood, before running.
Avatar n tn our system of blood donation isn't perfect but they do do the best testing possible. If everyone who had recently had unprotected sex with a partner who's std status they aren't aware of didn't donate blood, we'd have even less supply than we do now. if it was a high risk partner who you think could have hepatitis or hiv and it was unprotected sex then avoiding donating for 3 months is a good idea and they do ask questions covering those bases when you donate.
Avatar m tn The blood transfusion service tests donors for anemia before each blood donation. This test will exclude a thalassaemia carrier with mild anaemia. If you have anemia, then you cannot donate blood. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar n tn Before I donated blood, the doctor made my finger for a little blood. After that, they said I can donate my blood. So , befor the donation, do they detect my HIV status through my little blood of finger??
Avatar f tn A follow-up question from my original post answered by Dr. Hook: I had given a whole blood donation 7 days after a last possible exposure. I didn't have the information at the time that made me worry about getting tested and the service I donated through was able to recall my donation and not give it to someone. I had the PCR DNA test at 28 days, and antibody tests at 55 days, 69 days and 85 days - all negative.
Avatar f tn Consequently, air got in the line and they stopped the donation saying that it was now contaminated. I noticed the last time I gave blood that it seemed to take longer for me than for others. (Several people who started their donation after me left before me.) What may cause this? Should I be concerned? Thanks for any insight you can provide!

Avatar f tn Nope, herpes isn't passed in blood, so you can donate. If they eliminated everyone who had herpes somewhere on their bodies, they would be eliminating about 80% of people. Just don't go if you are having an outbreak. You should never donate blood when you aren't feeling well.

Avatar f tn I have to have a c-section and my husband and I are the same blood type so he did a directed donation on my behalf. So if I need blood I get his. You have to ask the blood lab at the hospital for their suppliers phone number and inquire about it. They need a certain amount of time to test the blood an store it so it usually has to be at least a week ahead if time. Something to think about since you already know you might need a blood transfusion.
