My friend and me are debating, since we cant find the answer. If someone donates blood and afterwards when they take it back to the lab it is tested for HIV and West Nile. Will the Red Cross notify you that you are infected and wont let you donate again? Or will they not tell you and just trash the blood??

The UK Blood service checks for all major blood-bourne diseases including HIV and West Nile, and would definately inform you if there was a problem.

I don't know that answer for sure, but I would think it would be the moral obligation of the Red Cross to inform the person that their blood tested + for the above diseases. A very good question.

It generally depends upon the agency and also to some extent the adminstration of that branch. But if u will go and enquire they shouldnt refuse
