Question regarding donating plasma

[funkerdoink]

So a little more than two years ago after donating blood I received a letter telling me that HCV was found in my blood. I went through all the treatments (interferon/riboflavin) and after seven months I was told that the treatment worked surprisingly well and the HCV was out of my system.

Now my question... with hepatitis no longer in my system, would I be able to donate plasma? Is it worth a try to go to the donation center and donate some anyways, and tell them my situation there, see what they have to say? Anyone with similar experiences? Any help is appreciated.

No.  I was donating plasma for about a month when they told me I had a false positive test for Hep C.  I got retested and I was clear.  Now I can never donate again even though I'm completely clean and they messed up in the first place.  I've been reported to the county health department and I'm now on the national donor deferral list all because somebody screwed up.  Even if you're clean they won't ever let you donate again if you've had any kind of positive test, even a false positive test.

... im pretty sure that they will not accept it even if you are clear
