Best Answer

I've heard numerous answers and I myself can't seem to find any solid answers from researching on the internet.

my suggestion for anyone that is curious is to go on to HDbuzz.net and ask Dr Wild and Dr Carroll. I already have, but the more interest they see the more likely they would be to write about it.

Living as a person at risk for HD, I have personally been donating blood in Canada for the past several years and have not had any problems. It has not been asked about in the screening process and I honestly never even thought about it up until a few days ago. Its obvious that the disease itself can't be passed on as its a Neurological Genetic Condition, but besides that fact I'm uncertain as to what risks could possibly be involved with donating as an untested or HD positive individual
