This was the first tie I went to a blood drive, and I was surprised that this specific drive was fairly packed, and I ended up waiting on a line. However, I wasn’t surprised at the size of the forms I had to fill out and the questions they asked. Diseases spreading though blood transfusion’s always been a problem, especially with HIV.Usually I have a problem with needles, but what stung the most was the small blood sample they took rather than the actual extraction. They used some grotesque, staple-like item to prick my finger for the blood sample.
For the most part, it was a fun experience and i would do it again, except they scared my father half to death with a letter telling me I have AIDS and Hepatitis C and later apologizing because the test was a false positive.
