Plasma donation 2 years 10 months ago #29364
I contracted hep C in the mid 70's. I went through successful treatment in 2010. I have a blood exam every year with no signs of HepC. I was thinking about donating Plasma. The plasma donation center says they test for Hep C. Will I be excluded from donating? What do they look for in the blood results so I can check my most recent lab tests. Thank you | |

Hi Perecarl, Sorry for the delayed response. In my other life I founded a Telehealth company that I've just completed selling. Anyway I would not expect you to be able to donate plasma. The presence of antibodies to HCV is one of the exclusion criteria. This is from the Red Cross in Australia but is representative of the policies around the world. www.lifeblood.com.au/faq/eligibility/med...procedures/hepatitis
