Blood donation after sexual

Hi all .
My question: Why is the blood donation not allowed until a year after the last sexual intercourse, even though the definitive tests are much less?

Your question has been answered previously that you had no risk for your exposure. And your question here has also been answered.

No idea what you are talking about. That certainly is not a rule in countries that study and are educated on HIV. Especially for someone such as yourself who had no risk. I actually think you have it wrong and maybe an isolated incident happened at a specific hospital. And that they may screen for infectious diseases in blood but sincerely doubt they would ever require only SEX FREE blood donation. Your anxiety is running away with you.

You are really grasping at straws. At risk. And that has nothing to do with conclusive results for those who had a genuine risk---  which you did not. Conclusive results by ALL experts in the field for HIV in developed countries who have thoroughly studied HIV agree that a 4th generation DUO test doe not change after 28 days (considered conclusive), is said to be fully conclusive at 28 days to 6 weeks max, and EVERY OTHER test IS CONCLUSIVE at 3 months (12 weeks). work on your anxiety, the only illness I see here.
This is an hiv prevention forum not a blood donation forum. I'm sure the blood donation people would be happy to answer any questions you have for them about their standards.
Sure i now and I trust that but I don't understand this difference , that people who said window period test same people who said blood donation after 12 months after exposure. I mean ( WHO )
You should contact the WHO for whatever misunderstanding you believe exists. This is not a blood donation site so we can't help you donate anyway.
