Question: This girl I know wants to donate blood, but what if she has HIV?
Answers:
They will test her blood for HIV. A lot of people have HIV and don't know it, and also people have been known to lie. So they test every donor.
So don't worry about it. They know what they're doing.
They do tests to to check for diseases before they give the blood to someone. The questionnaire is just the first check but they know some people don't realize they have a disease or just lie on the form.
This is why they test the blood. They know people lie so they actually test the blood before it goes into the blood bank.
of course they test every blood that is donated. so if you give blood and you come up positive they discard it.
