Posted by Most Concerned! on July 12, 2006, 10:01 pm Q.) Have they ever been exposed to AIDs or HIV? Q.) Have you ever been exposed to Hepatitis C? Q.) Have you ever been exposed to any type of Hepatitis virus at all? Q.) Have you been outside the country within the last 2 years? Q.) Have you ever used a dirty needle, shared a needle, or ever used a needle that you feel could have been, in anyway, unsafe at all? Q.) Have you recently had any part of your body pierced? If it was less than a year ago it is advisable to find another donor; it is better to be safe than sorry. Q.) How many people within the last year have you had sexual intercourse with? If more than one, you may need to be a little hesitant. Q.) Within the last month have you had any kind of sexual contact with anyone? If the answer is yes, then ask how many people? Then ask, Have you been with this person less than a month? If this answer is yes, then ask has this person slept with anyone else besides you during the last 2 months? If the answer is yes, then don't chance it. * A L M O S T__A L L * homosexuals, bisexuals, and lesbians suffer from a mental disorder known as nymphomania, and may engage in unprotected sex with total strangers, dozens of times in a month, week, or even night!

* QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR DONOR: *
* N O T E *
ALWAYS CHECK the arms, legs, and toes of all potential donors for needle track scars. * TESTS TO GET YOUR DONOR: *
* RPR (rapid plasma reagin) *
Its purpose is to determine the presence of treponema palidum infection (syphilis). If the test comes back positive you will then want to run a confirmatory test, which is FTA (fluorescent antitreponemal antibody). But no matter what, discard this blood, and defer this donor for 1 year. Note that the treponema palidum organisms die in blood after 5 days of refrigeration. That does not mean use this blood after 5 days. It means the test will not be accurate after 5 days. * ALT (alanine aminotransferase) *
The purpose of this test is surrogate testing for Hepatitis C. Discard this blood if ALT values are out of range. * Anti-HBc *
The purpose of this test is a surrogate test for Hepatitus C; high incidence in HIV-positive donor. Never use this donors blood if the test values are positive. * Anti-HCV *
This test determines the presence of antibodies to the Hepatitis C virus. Again, if the antibodies are there defer this donor forever. * HBsAg *
Determines presence of Hepatitis B surface antigen. If this test comes back positive then repeat test procedure after neutralization of HBsAg in sample with anti-HBs; results unaffected if false-positive, at least 50% reduction if true-positive. On confirmation, discard blood and permanently defer this donor. * Anti-HIV *
This test is also very important. It determines the presence of antibodies to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). If test is positive, run a test called Western blot. There is a 0.5% false positive rate. Also discard the blood if positive. * Anti-HTLV-1 *
This test determines presence of antibodies to human T-cell lymphotropic virus, type 1. If this test comes up positive, pitch the blood and never consider this donor again.* N O T E *
You can get these tests ran for free if you go to a blood bank and donate. It also then gives blood for the hospitals to use.* C R U C I A L *
* N E V E R * use a donor who is homosexual, bisexual, or a lesbian. * E V E R Y O N E * a donor had sex with may contribute deadly STDs to you.
