When did they start testing blood transfusion recipients or givers for HIV?
Blood banks and hospitals did not test blood for HIV and AIDs before a test was invented in 1985. Now, all blood for transfusions and other purposes are tested before being collected. Prior to 1985 it was not possible to test blood donors or donated blood for HIV. In that year Robert Gallo of the NIH developed a kit which allowed the testing. Later the Louis Pasteur Institute sued and got half the rights to the invention.

Your mom just found out that she has a blood-clotting disorder you now have to go in for a blood test to see if you have the disorder as well Will marijuana be detectable through this test?
There are many different types of blood tests and not all will unveil the use(s) of illegal drugs. Your Doctor will not generally order that you be tested for marijuana or other illicit drugs when you have your blood tested to determine whether or not you have a blood-clotting disorder. Most times you will be given a form to take with you to the phlebotomist (person who draws your blood to be tested). The form will be checked off as to what the doctor wants tested. You should also be able to tell then and there if the doctor has checked the box indicating that you be tested for illegal drugs.

What is inside of blood used for blood donation?
Blood is a living tissue that contains plasma, red cells, white cells, and platelets; all of which are vital to the body and are still contained within the blood that is donated. Red cells carry oxygen throughout the entire body, plasma carries water throughout the entire body, white cells protect against infection and disease, and platelets helps to control any type of bleeding. All of these components are still contained within the donated blood and are the reason why blood donations are so important and truly help to save countless lives.
What happens when A blood group is given to AB blood group person?
Nothing really unless the type a is positive and the ab is negative. When blood is pumped in for transfusions and the like it is mostly a type of filler. As time goes on all blood dies even in someone who doesn't have a transfusion. That is part of the reason why women have menstrual cycles because it gets rid of some of the older blood and they replenish it. Type O- can give to all blood types and O+ can give to any blood type that is positive. The negative and positive are from a protein that is tested for after blood is donated. If the protein is there than you are positive, if the protein isn't then you are negative. The A's and B's are also separate proteins found in the blood. You can be given blood with anything less then what you have in your own blood supply. However if you are O and given A then your bodies immune system will fight that blood as if it is a virus. Hope this helps.
