Do you have to know what your blood type is ahead of time in order to donate blo!


Question: A young girl that lives just 30 miles north of me was badly burned in a house fire and news reporters said, "She needs a blood transfusion and the parents are asking people to donate blood." So, do I have to know this before I can donate blood or is there a way for them to determine that afterward?

No you don't need to know. After you donate, they will find out for you. Its a good cause. Go for it.

No they will type it and screen it for you. but good to know in the future just in case you need a transfusion.

no...the blood people take all blood. they will tell you you type of blood after you have donated.
good luck donating.

They will take a sample of your blood & check it for disease & type before you can donate. Same day service.

Ya it is must as u'll have 2 check 4 any infection or disease. And the blood group should match cuz it is must.
