fels Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I would, however I don't believe they allow 14-year-olds to donate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~WinGz~ Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 you gotta be 17 and over 110 pounds before you can donate unless your over 110 pounds and taller then maybe you can get special permission but otherwise nope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 No, I don't. It's not the needles I'm afraid of; it's the drowsiness afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt74441 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I've donated once every two months for the last two years. Sure it can be painful at times, but when they tell you that you're saving a life when you donate, they're not lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNay Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Nope, they won't let me b/c i'm gay, but I would if I could all the time :) Stupid huh? I understand why this policy is in effect, but I've been in a monogamous relationship for 5 1/2 years and still get tested every 6 months anyways. So how could hiv/aids be the issue. Hmmm.. :wacko: Also, if its all about the promiscuous sex we gays tend to have then str8, thats not true. It's equal. And if its the bum sex issue, some str8s do have that. I know many won't say they do, but they do... lol Some will say lie to them but I can't. I respect their policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerm Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 ^If you don't have HIV and they have tested you and they know that then whats the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNay Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 ^If you don't have HIV and they have tested you and they know that then whats the problem? 586623522[/snapback] It's the fact i'm a homosexual, they don't care. I already tried giving blood and they said sorry we can't take it from you after asking the list of questions :( Too bad for them, I'm type O, universal.

Back then I guess hep c wasn't big and 1000's got infected :( There was a big lawsuit that just finished up with that recently I think, it was on the news last yr.

Driph Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 The very first time i gave blood, they messed up somehow. They found my vein but i guess it wasnt connected right, so instead of the blood going to the bag, it was like internally bleeding and it left a huge bruise there. It was black and blue for about 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
