confusion with hiv donor screening and test
i am confused...i donated blood at 8wks...i did this to know my status..and now nobody is calling me..do you think i am clean already ?because if im not somebody will call me right? unless they did not screen me properly..i am from philippines anyway..24 yrs old male..i dont know if that will help.
No, i don't think your clean-i don't know what your status is. Monono, do you mean to say you were tested at the hospital -or- are you saying you donated blood in order to see if they caught your hiv status as (+/-) in the hopes that they will notify you if you positive?
good catch chapeau if positive though why test the system you know things happen and test arent perfect
just saying blood banks are important and they test the blood more than once
and yes i am sure hiv gets through especially during the window period thankfully now a days most show a positive 22 to 34 days out
whats scary is the organs they gave out and those guys got hiv from that dude he was in the window period

Can you imagine if they slip up and someone gets aids like this? I wonder what the room for error is in the Phillipines when it comes to screening blood of donors? The fact that people are doing this in 08' is not very heartening my friend...
yes..exactly...that is what i am trying to do..because i think that is what they will do if i tested +...right? they will notify me..
my exposure is actualy a protected sex with csw...but i am not sure if it didnt break... bec this wat happend to me, there is like a small hole at my glans penis(like an insect bite) and now there is no hole...it is like a blackhead with a little inflamation around it...im not sure if it is a chancre or just an insect bite..what do you think?its not oozing any fluid and it is dry...
this is the reason why i am concernced..bec. if i got syphilis, you know what i mean..the condom broke..
i already posted this question before because of some other concerns and now, i am here again because of this another concern..
