I remember my friend David being really pissed off when he found he couldn't give blood simply because he was gay. But yeah, they changed the rules. Talk about discriminatory...

Shaun 20-05-2013 01:26 PM

only if we've been inactive for over a year ;)

I think they just mean inactive in terms of getting ****ed in the ass. I havn't been ****ed in the ass since I was 23. (not that there's anything wrong with that)

I used to but when I found out the blood isn't screened for CJD I stopped.

You have a chesty cough, sore throat or active cold sore.

You're currently taking antibiotics or you have just finished a course within the last seven days or have had any infection in that last two weeks.

You've had hepatitis or jaundice in the last 12 months.

You've had a tattoo, semi-permanent make up or any cosmetic treatments that involves skin piercing in the last 4 months.

You have had acupuncture in the last 4 months, unless this was done within the NHS or by a qualified Healthcare Professional registered with a statutory body.

A member of your family (parent, brother, sister or child) has suffered with CJD (Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease).

You've ever received human pituitary extract (which was used in some growth hormone or fertility treatments before 1985).

So after 4 months you can donate?

Kizzy 20-05-2013 03:58 PM

I thought if you had ever had jaundice you couldn't donate ever?

No I do not want my organs donated for personal reasons.

I wanted to donate this past February at a blood-drive at my school. I helped organize it, and it was the first time I'd be able to donate, but when I saw that they were beating the bags of blood instead of using a machine to keep them from coagulating, I opted out.

Tom4784 20-05-2013 11:33 PM

I'm not squeamish but the thought of giving blood makes me feel giddy.

King Gizzard 21-05-2013 12:47 AM
