If he had hepatitis A, there is no chronicity. Once the disease is gone, the virus is gone from the body and he can donate blood safely. If he had hepatitis E, likewise. If he had hepatitis B or C, there is a chance of chronicity,.Even after the disease is gone, the virus may remain and the person becomes a carrier. PCR for hepatitis C or detection of hepatitis B surface antigen by ELISA technique must be done. If negative, blood can be donated safely.
