I only donated blood once. It was a disaster. I ended up with a bad hematoma.
I’m small. They don’t use pediatric needles to collect blood. They have to use pediatric needles on me to get blood for routine tests, IV’s, etc.
But next time I am bugged to get the test, I will point out what you said in terms of how I technically had me lifetime HI test because I did donate once. Thank you for making that point known to me.
I had to explicitly tell my doctor NOT to test for HIV at my physical. It only adds unnecessary costs and processes needlessly.
