How often do you donate blood?

[jfreels]

I can donate, but they will not take my blood because
-I've gotten a piercing/tattoo too recently.
-Decisions i choose to make about my adult life that don't effect my blood in any way.

Its really sad how much GOOD blood the red cross turns down.

You don't have to tell them the truth. People with AIDS knowingly give blood. If your blood is not viable, their tests will determine that and they will call you and ask you not to donate anymore. There's a reason why they take many samples
