I never looked into it, I just assumed that it would be frowned upon.<BR/><BR/>I was kicked of the donor list back in university, because my blood set off their HIV sensors. It wasn't positive, but it wasn't a clear negative, either. I had to be tested, and the real test came back negative (after a scary 4-week wait), so I figure it was just a glitch. But all the same, I got a letter from the blood donor people saying "thanks, but no thanks." I appreciate that they need to be careful, but I still feel bad that I can't donate any more.<BR/><BR/>I console myself with the knowledge that I'm AB+ (universal recipient), so my blood's not all that useful. Anyone who can receive my blood can also receive any ol' blood!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04369322085069298422noreply@blogger.com
