Yes. If you visit the DMZ (or any South Korean city north of Seoul) between March and December, you cannot donate blood in the US for the following twelve months, for fear of malaria. Which is pretty crazy, seeing as the temperature at the DMZ was well below freezing during my December visit - I don't think there were too many mosquitos.

Source: I was just turned away at the blood bank, where I typically donate every eight weeks. They showed me the map of excluded regions and the regulations.

Do you have to replace blood if you receive a blood transfusion?

If you receive a blood transfusion, you are under no obligation to "return" (or "donate") any blood to back the blood bank. This is true both before and after receiving a blood transfusion - i.e you do not have to have donated blood previously, before you can have a transfusion. (At least, this is how it works in the UK). Nice to know, really.

How true is that a blood type can not be infected by HİV?

I could be wrong but I don't think the blood type O-negative can be affected by HIV and AIDS because the infection cannot bind with the blood cells.
