They check for blood diseases otherwise it is ok to use. If you have aids or hepatitis no go. They do ask you about steroids,but they also do a kidney type filtration on it before packing into cells.

They only check for infectious diseases. I've donated every 8 weeks for years, both on cycle and off and never had one unit discarded.
I've coveted this countless times but all you have to do is think about it.....your body has 10 pints of blood and they take 1, so you are getting 10% of what's in your blood. Put into a recipient it is further diluted and will not pose any threat or harm to the recipient whatsoever. Leveks will be basically normal by then. If it was something to be concerned about they would test for it.
My blood has been given to soldiers overseas, burn victims, children's hospitals, and everything else over the years. All it does is help people and save lives brother.

They do ask if I am on steroids and I say no. Didn't someone post a while back and say they answered yes and were rejected?

Ya I think I remember that post, the member called the blood center back and talked to somebody and I believe they reversed his rejected donation and accepted his blood. I forgot which member it was , can't remember exactly what was said either

Yes they will reject you from being able to donate of you answer yes to using steroids, but the only reason is because of the concern of using a dirty needle....not the steroids themselves. Therefore you have to lie to the question.
However your blood will not be rejected while on steroids unless your RBC is too high to donate which they check befire you can give

I was rejected till i got dr orders.
Your blood is tested, basically the only thing they can use is the platelets i want to say i was told.

What was the reason your blood was rejected? It had to do with either hematocrit or something else being out of range. The only other thing that blood is rejected for is infectious diseases which they do test for

Well technically my blood was not rejected I was rejected because I was on trt and I did not have a doctor's order to donate they said there's no use in taking blood from patient that they cannot use they extract the platelets or something else and everything else is thrown away because it is not able to be used

It sucks for those of us on finasteride. I wish i could donate i used to do it all the time
I was going to donate blood until my sister told me i should sell it instead, lol. She works at quest diagnostics. Either way im drawing blood here soon
Not sure where you got that info but it's completely false. I've been on trt for 3 years and never had a pint not used. My whole units have been sent to hospitals in need all over.
TRT does not disqualify you in any way, shape, or form. It's not even on the questionnaire they give you so I'm unsure as to how this would have even come up.

I could care less about making money off my blood. The gratification in helping others as well as myself is my satisfaction

I agree, but most people at the labs think different about it i guess. Maybe because they see this everyday
