Can you donate plasma if you have had an STD?

Answer 1

Not all people know when they have an STD. So, there's no way of stopping them from donating plasma while infected until the infection is confirmed by a doctor. No, you can not donate plasma following a confirmed case of having contracted an STD. All free clinics, hospitals, doctors offices, etc. are required by law to report your name and information to The Health Department, which in turn reports you to the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Your name will show up in the government's national database. You will not be allowed to donate plasma for a minimum of 12 months after being completely STD free. If you tested positive for Syphilis or HIV you will permanently be unable to donate plasma. I don't know if they allow you to donate if you have genital warts or herpes. My guess is no because those diseases are incurable.
