Merin Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 The chances that you were given infected blood isn't very high or likely. People who donate blood are screened with high priority. If you feel uncomfortable with this or uncertain then speak with your doc and get tested.... however know that it isn't likely. Link to post Share on other sites

I agree... I donated yesterday, and you have to complete a very detailed questionairre, and they actually run tests on your blood as well. The risk isn't quite what it used to be, before all the screening and testing was put into place. Link to post Share on other sites
