Infected with HIV via Blood Donations?

This should not be a concern during blood transfusions as all blood donations are taken very carefully after an extensive breakdown of the individual donating blood in terms of their eligibility. In terms of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, the individual who has contracted such a disease would have to wait one year after the disease and treatments have passed. It is essential that anyone who donates blood makes sure that they are aware of their own conditions and that they donate through a credible center to ensure that no harm will be done during a eventual blood transfusion. In general however, this should really not be a concern as most blood centers demonstrate the utmost of care.
