Blood donation is not only a good job to help, but also a chance to make sure that there is no unwanted infection in your body! If the donor donates a full dose of blood or blood component, an investigation is carried out to ensure that the donor's blood is safe for patients. They are investigated on the presence of hepatitis C and B virus, HIV infection and syphilis. In order to increase the safety of blood components, the blood also searches for viral genetic material (DNA or RNA) using molecular investigative techniques. This makes it possible to detect viruses in the body during an early period of infection.
In 2013, all blood donations in the country were detected in 230 cases. In some cases positive exams do not indicate infection but any other changes in the donor body.
The medical practitioners of the donor centre recall that 3-4 days after donation of blood should be interested in the results of their analyses in order to initiate treatment in a timely manner. You can do this by calling a free informational phone 8000 0003.
