What blood tests will you run on my blood product?
Infectious disease testing will be performed on your blood product to determine the presence or absence of:
- HIV: We will test your blood for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
- HTLV-1: We will test your blood for HTLV-1, a virus that may cause a blood or nerve disease.
- Hepatitis: We will test your blood for hepatitis, a viral liver disease.
- Syphilis: We will test your blood for syphilis, a venereal disease.
If there is a concern about your test results, we will contact you via certified mail and we may ask that you return in 8 weeks for repeat, confirmatory testing. We will also advise you to see your physician.
**NOTE: Donating blood is NEVER a good way to get a free blood test. If you only want a blood test, please contact your physician.
