Can you still give blood if you've give oral to a man?

[Anonymous]

So I donation my blood every couple mouths and so do the rest of my family. I'm a virgin but I've recently met someone who's also a virgin but my family don't know as my family are very conservative people and would think he's below me and disapprove. The other day I heard my mum on the phone to one of her friends and they were gossiping about another friend's daughter because she can't give blood anymore and were saying probably because she's "dirty" and has been giving her boyfriend blow jobs.

I thought to myself holy shit because I've started giving oral to my boyfriend and I've got a blood donation next month and if my family realise I can't give blood because of that my family would be so ashamed of me and think I was disgusting. I don't even know if it's true that you can't give blood if you've done oral I thought that was only for homosexuals.

I have no idea what the hell you're talking about, but here's the reasons you can't give blood according to the American red cross site.

1) being HIV or AIDS positive
2) being currently imprisoned
3) US Military personnel who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan for over a year
4) if you've traveled to the U. K. or Western Europe due to concerns about mad cow disease
5) physically small people as they have lower volumes of blood and may not be able to safely lose a pint
6) if you're suffering from flu symptoms
7) under 17
8) if you're pregnant or recently had a child
9) having high or low cholesterol levels
10) if you have blood cancers, like lymphoma
11) if you have cancer unless you haven't had chemo in the last 5 years

Also cent be been antibiotics

[jrallen175]

Can't*

[Asker]

Ok well thanks, I'm British but its probably similar rules anyway.

[jrallen175]

Probably, except for the traveling to the U. K. bit

[panders]

new rules were passed 28th nov 17 in uk, basically you have to wait 3 months after gay sexual activiy (or sex with a sex worker) before you can donate. please google it.

[jrallen175]

Great, so that still doesn't apply to her

[panders]

depnds where she live i would say 175

[jrallen175]

Well, a girl giving a guy head isn't gay sexual activity and she's not a professional sex worker... so...

[panders]

well maybe you should read it as it outlines the circumstances that do prevent donation after the new rules, it sees based on what i mentioned but also outlines heterosexual activities that are included, such as if a partner was involved in high risk activity. i didn't say they were gay or had sex with hookers, just pointing then to the ew rules in the UK. so after they read them they can be comfortable they don't fit into any of the categories an are good to go. as you are just trolling, ypu wouldn't think of this, maybe stop trolling and looking for things you can pick at and try help someone.

[jrallen175]

You give an irrelevant rule change and tell her and/or to do research and I'm the troll?

[jrallen175]

And/or me*

If you've only ever participated in sexual activity with this one individual, a good start would be to find out if they've done an STD test since they had contact with a previous partner.
Just ask them directly. You're looking after yourself. If they appear offended for being asked the question, simply explain that you're only being careful.

[Asker]

My boyfriends a virgin too so I think I'll be okay, thanks

[ShaunaM95]

Yes you can still give blood. If that were the case, no women in the world would be allowed to give blood 😂

[Asker]

That's what I thought

[slatyb]

They don't ask about that. There is almost no risk of contracting HIV from oral sex.

[Asker]

Omg thanks god, I can breath again, thank you.

[slatyb]

You know that almost every adult with a partner gives and receives oral sex, right? There would be no one left to donate if oral sex were disqualifying.

[Asker]

I know that's what I was thinking but when my mum was saying stuff like that it made me second guess

[slatyb]

Don't rely on your mum for information about sex. You should do some independent study. "Everything you always wanted to know about sex" is an oldie but goodie.

[Celtero]

Only if you've managed to contract an STD from him, and the only one you can contract orally I believe is HIV. If you have that, you have bigger things to worry about than your parents being disappointed in you.

The other girl probably got a different disease, such as syphilis or gonorrhea.

Actually, you can contract syphilis from oral as well. In other words, as long as you haven't had any diseased penis in your mouth, you should be fine.

[Kromwell]

Herpes too

[vinnyAlo]

Your mom probably gives bj to your dad and donates blood right?

[Asker]

Eww I don't know and I don't like to think about it.

[vinnyAlo]

What am saying it's normal and that person your mom was talking about knows that person and not going around random dudes

[Steve37]

Inn the US, that's not part of the screening questionnaire. They'll ask if you've tested positive for HIV or if you've had sex with a prostitute, but not about oral sex.

[sidvt]

I don't think that such thing exist confirm with some docs

[dragon9669]

If that were the case, there would be no bloodbanks. How old are you?

[Asker]

I'm 19

[Delroy1995]

That has nothing to do with it she's probably caught a STD

[raks1986]

Yes u can...

[huddo35]

Yes you can

[Faze1]

Yes u can give blood

[SamaLok]

To be fair, most blood donation place test for STD. If yours doesn't, stay the f#ck away from that shady place XD

[Anonymous]

it might be a good idea to read the info the guy pointed you to about new rules in UK. it shows that you are ok to donnate. just ignore the haters
