Can you donate plasma if you've had gonorrhea?

Answer 1

Yes, you can donate blood if you have chlamydia, most likely. It is possible that the blood bank will want you to defer donation, though, until you're outside of the HIV window period. Chlamydia is not blood borne. It's spread through oral, anal, or vaginal sex.

Answer 2

Current FDA guidelines allow potential volunteer blood or compensated plasma donors with a history of gonorrhea to donate blood products IF the infection occurred more than 1 year prior to the donation attempt AND the infection was successfully treated with antibiotics.

Answer 3

Chlamydia does not spread through the blood, and is not found in the blood.

Answer 4

No. You need to get a urine test or genital swab to detect chlamydia.

Answer 5

Potential volunteer blood donors with a history of Gonorrhea are deferred for one year from the completion of successful therapy.

Answer 6

Yes, you can donate plasma after having chlamydia
