what happens to my UNIT OF BLOOD after donation?

.

  • After you donate, your blood is tested for HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis, Malaria etc to be sure that it is as safe as possible for a patient to receive.
  • Blood group and type are identified.
  • A blood group card is mailed to the donor
  • Before the blood is issued for transfusion, it is cross matched with the patient's blood
  • Donor's blood must match with that of the patient
  • You cannot get AIDS by donating blood
