I find it bemusing and sad that when I talk to people about getting tested for STDs, they say that they are clean because they give blood.
Blood donations are tested for HIV.
What about Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Herpes and Hepatitis?
No one is immune from disease. If you give blood on a regular basis... fine... skip the HIV test. But do go in for the others.
And while we're talking about health... have you been flossing?
The plaque in your teeth is the same plaque that clogs your bloodstream. It's true.
A clean healthy mouth prevents a multitude of ills. (As someone who gets breathed on by the public all day, I can vouch for that!)
