Hello Doctors,
I had protected sex with an escort in London last November 2012, that is my last exposure, then I went for many HIV tests and other STD's tests, I had DUO test at 6 weeks, Duo test at 9 weeks, INSTI test at 4 months, duo test at 7 months and another duo test at 9 months with also FULL STD's screen at 9 months, all the results came negative. Although all my tests are negative, I am still going crazy with these STD's and HIV.
I am thinking of donating blood, I want to do something good in my life, but the thing is, I checked today on NHS, they say in their website, " You should not donate blood for 12 months after having sex with a commercial sex worker"
WEBSITE: http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Blood-donation/Pages/Who-can-use-it.aspx
They made me worried again, why I can not donate? why they do not believe 6 months are enough for the tests to be conclusive?
Do you think I need to have Full STD's again after 12 months?
Advise me Doctor, Do I need to wait for one more month and go for donating some blood? Can you explain it to me why the are asking for people who had sex to come and donate after 12 months have passed?
Many thanks
