Note also that, if you know you do not have AIDS or any other
infectious disease, you help increase the healthy blood supply by
donating!  (And the nurses will help you determine what might be
disqualifying.)

For recent, good information on AIDS and other diseases that are
tested for in blood donors, contact your local Red Cross chapter's
Blood Services, Health Services, or Nursing & Health Services, or
your local hospital.  Then, ask for a bloodmobile schedule!
