Is donating blood safe?

Donating blood is a safe process. Needles and bags used to collect blood are used only once and then discarded, making spread of infection to the donor not possible.

Absolutely! There is no way to contract a disease from donating blood. The bag sets are for one time use only. They are kept in sterile packaging until they are needed. Once a unit has been drawn, the needle is immediately disposed of. There is no way to re-use a needle on another bag set. Also, the area surrounding the phlebotomy site is thoroughly cleansed with iodine to greatly reduce the chances of a skin infection.

Yes, if u go to a hospital. They normally test ur blood for others’ safety and health issues. Its really safe if u go to a hospital because they clean sensitize all the equipment.
