Because plasma is part of your blood, the same rules apply if you have herpes, whether you have HSV-1 or HSV-2: Don't donate plasma if any lesions or sores are actively infected. Wait until they're dry and healed. Don't donate until it's been at least 48 hours since you've finished taking any antiviral treatment.Apr 21, 2020
HCV is the causative agent for most, if not all, blood-borne non-A, non-B hepatitis. The test used for blood donor screening is the Ortho HCV ELISA for the qualitative detection of antibody to HCV antibodies (anti-HCV) in human serum or plasma samples.
People can't donate if they have or had tuberculosis, heart disease (and currently taking medication for it), sickle cell anemia, certain types of cancer, or malaria (contracted in the past three years or travelled to an endemic area in the past year).Nov 12, 2019
If you contracted syphilis or gonorrhea, wait three months following completion of your treatment to donate blood. If you have chlamydia, HPV, or genital herpes, you can still donate blood if you meet the other eligibility requirements.May 25, 2021
