SHIT! been blasting and cruising, Want to donate blood but had unprotected sex!!!!

I hate to say to every on in this thread this piece of advice but telling the truth when giving blood for the reasons being mentioned on this forum usually would be basically like showing up their and knowing they are going to not let you donate. Then you will have to do a therapeutic blood draw which will cost a good amount probably. If some one is blasting and cruising they with out a doubt need to give blood. And if it is TRT and monitored by a doctor their should be no legal problems giving the blood to my knowledge.

Im not on TRT though so I don't know if you guys are aloud to give blood or not. I would assume you should be able to since TRT is mimicking the bodies natural hormones in normal ranges.
 
Guys on doctor prescribed TRT can and should donate blood. You will not have to low when you answer any of the questions.
 
Do not tell them you have ever done gear. They will put you on a ban list across the country. I know that for a fact I am friends with a supervisor over a donation site. Just donate and they will take care of the rest.

Us TRT guys are only a small step away from being denied. Why? Because anything that leads you to donate out of self-interest as opposed to pure volunteerism (like being paid) has been shown to lower the quality of the blood supply. People with Polycythemia are already ineligible. If you have a reason to donate you are more likely to not mention your flu symptoms or your trip to Vegas or Haiti.

These organizations CANNOT and DO NOT test for all the things that might make you an unsuitable donor.
When you lie you are taking a gamble on someone else's health. It sucks, but that's the situation.
 
That chick in my avi, Remy Lacroix, fucking so sexy and she looks and acts like the chick I am seeing at the moment lmao bonus

Proof? I'm interested in this.
 
Pretty sure they test all the blood

Sigh - yes they test for a couple of things - hiv, hepatitis, syphillis maybe. NOT everything. The FDA sets the rules. Here's a quote from the FDA website:

"The blood safety system established by FDA is dependent upon: 1) accurate and complete educational material for donors so that they can assess their risk; 2) sensitive communication of the donor screening questions; 3) donor understanding and honesty; 4) quality controlled infectious marker testing procedures; and 5) appropriate handling and distribution of blood and blood products for patient use. Because of the improvements in donor screening procedures and the use of a variety of new tests in the last few years, the blood supply is safer from infectious diseases than it has been at any other time."

Notice something? Number 1-3 are dependent on the donor interview. Testing comes in 4th place.

They are relying on you to be honest when you give blood. They have no other choice.

My blood donation centers in my city dont pay for blood. And They cannot and do not test for all things that might make you suitable donor? SO they go by what the individual says and just take their word for it and put person who needs the blood at risk...that cant be right. they have to screen your blood

The blood supply has always been a tradeoff between cost and availability. Attempting to make blood 100% safe (by testing, whatever) would be so expensive that many people would die because the blood to help them was not available.

There have always been risks to receiving blood, many thousands of people have been infected or died.
Note in the FDA quote above where they say "blood is safer ... than at any other time". That is a coded admission that it is not safe in any absolute terms.

I'm not here to tell people what to do, it just bothers me when I see people trying to ease their conscience by engaging in the wishful thinking that dishonest donor behavior doesn't increase the risk for others because testing will "pick up the slack".

I completely agree.

I appreciate your info, the FDA is fucked up
 
I just ordered a blood draw kit (phlebotomy kit) form medicalshipment. com.. is was only $23.00
I can't donate blood cause of recent tattoo work. simply gonna use the kit and draw my own blood at home.. less hassle, cheap, and easier then lying on a blood donation..

Scratch this suggestion.. My order did not go through,, they asked for a nursing license before shipping..
Guess I'm back to draining out in a soda bottle

Getting a blood test to confirm high RBC, and a script for a phlebotomy @ clinic is out for sure?

If you do it yourself, be careful...some of the forum threads from bodybuilding sites re: home phlebotomy's have horror stories about mysterious, possibly-phlebotomy related clots causing problems (serious ones like heart attacks)
 
thanks snow patrol..
I went ahead and scheduled a doc appointment for later today.. We'll see how it goes, at least all my gear is prescription.
 
Just do it....you really think they take your word for it on the application and not test it before giving it to someone else?
