Originally posted by Technologist We have horrible drug use problems, and plenty of diseases to go round. That’s why I’m surprised. They do test the blood though. But I’ve heard that those instant tests are not too accurate.
This is how I figured out my iron is too low. I consistantly got abou 38-41 hrmtc, and a male needs 40 I think to donate. Started taking iron and have been feeling less tired actually.
Also, yeah they send a sample of the finished product to be tested for stds, hiv, hepb and c, but idk how accurate that is. That part isn't just from a finger stick though. -

Originally posted by Technologist Well, if these countries are purchasing it, I’m pretty sure they know the risks.
Sorry I made it sound like only American corporations are corrupt. The ones in other countries are fucked as well.
You wanna know who doesn’t know the risks? The people who actually get injected with the aids blood -

You realize they test the blood first... Right? I've read they throw a lot of it out because junkies use it to get money but have all sorts of drug metabolites in their blood. -

Here’s the thing. I know there are instant tests. They have them at some of the free clinics. I doubt that they actually lab test every sample they get, that would cost a whole lot.
A guy came into my work and told me he was tested and it gave him false results. It was an instant. -

Like 500 dollars a month, but I think you have to commit to doing it a few times a week, for like a year. idk. Not interested in the slightest. Plasma pays a lil better probably and you just go when you feel like it. -
2019-03-08 at 5:59 PM UTCI didnt like the saline. Donated for a few months then got sidetracked with something else and just stopped doing it. Been a few years now. One of the last times, the guy doing my needle thing fucked it up and I got to draw an audience while I bled all over my chair and self. I think they paid 50 a session or something. Deals for newcomers were higher. So twice a week for me was 3 hours total time including driving. $33 an hour nb

They make it come in phases where I do it so the return for the first like three times I barely even feel. The longer one at the end I feel quite a bit though, and I taste it in my mouth kinda like a dope shot.
Which is probably why I don't mind it so much, I'm pretty used to it.
