I've never donated blood so I don't know. I would think they'd do that though. Right now they've become more strict on blood donations and they really have to screen blood. I'm sorry that happened to you. I'd hate to imagine what a horrible experience for you and that's all the more reason you should seek professional help. You can believe that you are 100% negative. From my research, it's the symptoms that may take years to show up but the virus can be detected in tests as early as 6 weeks.

You're welcome. I had my scare over 4 months ago and when 2 nurses told me I should test out to 6 months it freaked me out but after reading not only what Teak has said and what Dr. Bob (thebody.com) has said I'm convinced that 12/13 weeks is conclusively negative.
