► Please Give Blood As We Can't
Please Give Blood...as we can't
DID YOU KNOW...
Last year the National Blood Service collected 2.1 million donations from about 1.6 million donors. Sounds like a lot, doesn't it? Actually it couldn't be further from the truth.
That's only 5% of the population, giving two or three times a year.
These groups of people can't give blood:
- Men who have sex with men even when using a condom.
- Women who are pregnant
- Those who have a piercing in the last 12 months.
- Those that carry the HBV, HCV or HIV/AIDS virus.
- Those that have sex in high-risk countries.
- Thise that injected themselves with drugs.
Almost anyone can become a new blood donor between the ages of 17 and 60.
