Sharing is caring. I am donating blood 🩸 this morning.  If your health is good and you’re able please consider a life changing impact your donation can have on a human. There’s a Holiday shortage, and a constant need for blood donations. I highly recommend donating blood to help a life.

Great post Queen
In addition to blood there is a need for platelet donations for cancer patients. Takes longer time to donate but the need is as great  and a donate more often.

Here in Panama, blood banking is very different. It's illegal to pay for blood so we rely heavily on donations. If you have a procedure scheduled and there's the tiniest chance something catastrophic something may happen then you are heavily encouraged to pre-bank several pints. There's a fee structure around the hospital processing your own blood for your procedure (if memory serves it's like $150ish) and if you don't have self-donated blood and cannot get volunteers to come in and donate, you draw from whatever meager resources the hospital has as 'left overs' at an additional $350ish/pint. We have universal healthcare here but certain supplies like blood are still on a cash basis. It's not at all uncommon for there to be emergency calls to the community for a certain blood type because someone had an emergency and cannot afford the $500ish/pint or there simply isn't any of their type in the hospital reserve.

Some people undergoing surgery have a blood disorder that requires transfusions with blood plasma. The process above, which I have done, spins out the pure plasma after which the red blood cells are put back into you. This has to be done a few times, so it's much more time-consuming than simply donating blood, but very valuable.

Weren’t sex workers are under permanent disqualification due to high risk activities according to Red Cross guidelines?

But I haven't heard of It being done in more recent years.

As long as you aren't truthful on the intake form, they will accept your donation.

It varies by country and institution. The shift is from "have you ever" questions which disqualifies large swathes of eligible donors to "in the last 3 mo have you done X activity with anyone new" type of questions. Personally, I'm STI tested 1-2x/mo and have never had a positive result so if anything, my blood has a pedigree superior to the average person on the street in a supposedly monogamous relationship (whose partner may be messing around) who can answer "no" to the "in the last 3mo" kind of questions. Because I KNOW my blood is safe, that's a lie I'm willing to tell a bureaucrat to potentially save a life.

I don’t think I ever did that but years ago I did something similar called apheresis pretty regularly for some time. They pull out some blood, spin out the platelets to keep, and give the rest of it back. As you said, it takes quite a bit longer than making a whole blood donation. And they use a bigger needle so the platelets don’t get destroyed on the way out.  

is you lying to us, or did you lie to them?  sex workers aren't supposed to donate blood.
   
https://www.redcrossblood.org/faq.html#eligibility
    -have received money, drugs or other payment for sex

- Every 2 seconds someone needs blood in America.
- 37% of the population is eligible to donate but only 3% does
- if just 1% more of the population donated then blood shortages would be alleviated
- 25% of donated blood is used by cancer patients
- AB blood type (+/-) is best for plasma & platelet donations

you left out some facts:

Bc donating my healthy, disease-free blood which I get tested more often than I donate is more important than those discriminatory questions. Why do you like your own posts? Need to pat yourself on the back bc nobody else will?

Yes, the rules of the Red Cross have changed to be more inclusive of our alphabet society.  Regardless, the survey is about sexual activity, NOT about WHO the sexual activity was with.  This is right from the Red Cross website.. "Sexual activity questions are based on specific behaviors, not on sexual orientation. The words “have sexual contact with” and “sex” are used in some of the questions, and apply to any sexual activities (vaginal, oral, or anal), regardless of whether a condom was used during the activity."

He's asking the right question though. I gave him a like too.

But probably best a bunch of overly sexual active people dont go donating a bunch of blood. Common sense.

....or choose to ignore the part where it said PrEP may cause the test to be inaccurate, meaning it could help hide the virus  living in contaminated blood.  It was glaringly specific.  

Along with a lack of understanding of the 'window period,' She seems unaware of how pool testing works.  
If her sample is rejected, a dozen other donations are discarded with it, worsening the shortage.

Oh MommaBia, so now you want to turn the Fuck Boards into a church outreach space.  
Yes we all know you are an incalculably amazing individual. You are the best mother that's ever lived. no doubt your children are brilliant and now we find you are also a selfless person that donates her (questionable) blood. And on top of all that you let dudes have their way with you for $$$$.  
But here's the thing you don't know. All those people that don't loiter here on Mother Superior Bia's Good Works Community Board don't come because they don't care about your children or your mommy skills.  
The VAST majority of guys come to TER to find out where to get an awesome blow job or Greek, and what fetishes are available.  
All this "MommaBia Single Mom extraordinaire" belongs on Twitter, Facebook or IG. Perhaps you can tell the other mothers at Sunday school about giving blood. But on TER it's about giving HEAD!!

I feel like your holiday was miserable and you are projecting.  

I mean just look at the time stamps. Some of these guys must have had nothing better to do on Christmas.

Nope, we also go to our favorite Chinese restaurant.

I donate every year to the human society. I did not respond to her post, but I did like it. I posted this thread & you continue to be a hater.  

Yes Momma you’re right again. But perhaps someday you will grow up and realize it’s ok to have differing opinions and views.
And while you get paid $$$$$$$$$$$ for your old body. And ANNOUNCE your extraordinary donations people continue to go without food and housing, shit healthcare and nobody truly cares.  
Every year another few charities get busted for corruption.  
While you and your little boyfriends talk nonsense.  
Again I will point how few people are reading this nonsense.
and it’s not me, who posts 10 times a year that’s chasing people from your silly community.
Using terms like “hatter” shows me you spend most of your waking hours on social media.  
Freedom of speech will not be blocked by childish groups like yours. Good riddance and enjoy your boys club!

Anyone following her for more than five posts knows she hasn't given a drop; she’s just clout-chasing to keep her name at the top of the feed.

I stopped a little over a half way through the American regional boards and stopped because I believe she was active within a mouse scroll or two on every single one.  Started in Alabama and quite somewhere around New Jersey...

howd you bold?

Parents in India devastated as children with thalassemia test HIV positive
   
On Wednesday, authorities in central state of Madhya Pradesh said five children with thalassemia, aged three to 15, have tested positive for HIV, prompting concerns over blood transfusion practices. A committee has been set up to investigate the cases.

It's called sarcasm, it used to be a form of humor, making fun of someone, but now that making fun of someone is a criminal act I imagine I will be hearing from the authorities.

then write like sarcasm or something at the beginning. it sounded like you were cursing all of us and were just having a bad day in the end. you made so many credible points. then you negated them at the end and thats what people remembered and remarked on. but you're still bad ass for stating your opinion.

Thanks. But….
 Bia ends her phony, inane posts saying “Smile for me” so I was doing the opposite  
So…Have a great day!!!!! 😂

Makes me wonder whether she really has any customers because she’s trolling on the Boards every day. Don’t know how she does it with all those kids and an active prostitution practice?

its an even better post now that i get it. have a good day, beautiful, and smile for me.

There's more than a few things that I'm beginning to wonder but my only issue at the moment with some of the folks in this thread is the utter lack of respect for protocols and restrictions on donating blood.  They clearly don't give a shit about the rules but have no issue playing hematologist and making ignorant decisions that very well could kill someone as illustrated in the link a few posts above.  

"All those kids"??? LOL

I’m donating a bucket or two of the white milky stuff this morning! Does that count?

As often as Red Cross Allows
