What was the question and what was your answer?

Also, I don't know of a database that all those who accept blood check. If your answer is wrong and that organization won't correct it, then you can just go somewhere else to donate.

The questions are there to protect the general population, they do not want blood that may be tanited getting into the blood supply, And I would hope you don't want it either.

So you answer each question honestly and correctly, and if they deny you the chance to give blood, you tried.

Absolutely. I lost a good friend who was a hemophiliac to AIDS. He contracted it from tainted blood products. There are so many other worthwhile ways you can give to society, why push this particular issue?

being punished something happened young. not pushing when clean. is sad when helping can t. dont have nothing being punished for abuse.

So, if I understand you correctly, you were abused by someone when you were young, but any medical issues that resulted from that experience have long since been treated? And despite not having any diseases currently, they won't let you donate?
This should be easy enough to clear up by explaining to them, if indeed this is the case. I do understand that you meaningfully want to give to others.
