they do a blood test first to make sure your blood is good enough for transfusion,if any type of disease is found they will tell you,look forward to tea and biccies after whilst you rest after giving blood,they will only take 1 pint at the session so no need to fear.

I think they have to notify you. When you give blood, it is coded with a donor #. That way if your blood can't be used for disease reasons, they can contact you.
