Do you donate blood? If not, how come? Banned (like me) or just don't want to?

    I first inquired about donating blood years ago, but discovered that I am barred for life due to having used intravenous drugs.

    My dad is a regular donor, and then you have those commercials and everything...

    Like, I totally would, but I'm banned for life.

    I suppose I could just lie. I never once shared a needle.

    But these criteria exist for a reason.

    What about y'all?

    Do you know your blood type?

    Believe it or not I am literally type O negative.

    I haven't donated blood in as long as I can remember.

    Every time these "mass shootings" happen , Facebook will blow up with girls bragging about donating blood and it just makes me want to not donate. Which I dont.

    I like my blood
    It's my blood.

    Nobody else can have it.

    The funny thing is... I literally have no idea.

    I regularly track my weight, HR (heart rate), BP (blood pressure), and a few other biometrics, but have yet to find out what my blood type is.

    I'll probably ask my mom tomorrow. She must know.

    But it's pointless anyway.

    Unethical life pro tip: if you don't want to share your blood or organs, start injecting drugs.

    Or just get some money off of the next person you fuck...

    Examples of HIV high-risk activities include, but are not limited to:

    A person who has taken money or drugs for sex since 1977.

    Do they test your blood for drugs and diseases before they let you donate it ?

    I don't know...

    I could probably donate blood if I just told them what they want to hear.

    Like I said, I never once shared a needle, so I'd be pretty confident in claiming that I am, for all intents and purposes, NOT an IV user.

    And they'd probably take my word for it; and they'd be completely right to do so.

    Maybe I will one day.

    The second I bring it (the truth) up with them, though, is the second they discard of my contribution.

    People generally don't just kick an IV opiate habit. I pretty much don't expect ever to be trusted as "drug-free" for as long as I live.

    Well for what it's worth I would let you donate blood to me regardless of anything.

    I used to love Mitch Hedberg.

    I still do, but I used to, too.

    Dont take a velcro wallet to a casino. Every time you open it it's like the sound of your addiction.

    If they're not paying me why would I go through the trouble?
