Are you the one GIVING or RECIEVING?

 

GIVING - Must not be on any medication. No Flu/Fever for the past 2 weeks.

 

[osiris]

to add on...

remember when u last had sex... was it paid or someone whom u know...

which country have u travelled during the past few months or 6months.. not too sure about this and if u had been to certain countries which was listed, must declare.

when u r at the blood bank, they will ask you to fill up a questionairs which will contain wat i had said above and more...

then a doctor will interview you and see if u r fit to donate or not, normal clinical procedures like blood pressure and stuffs...

then if pass, you wil proceed to the nice rooms with comfortable arm chairs...
