you definitely need to watch this before
donating class but because no one let me
know all these rules that the plasma
centers had and when i tell you there's
a list of them
there's so many and some of these things
that you wouldn't think
are a big deal they could prevent you
anywhere from four
to six months before you can actually be
eligible
to donate hello youtube welcome to my
channel my name is naomi with claire
and today as you can already tell by the
description below
i'm here to educate debunk some of the
myths about
plasma donating and to just give you
guys a few
tips on what to expect when
going to donate plasma so before i get
started make sure to like
comment and subscribe liking my video
allows more and more people to view it
uh commenting allows me to interact with
you all
and subscribing helps grow my channel
overall so i
truly truly appreciate you guys showing
me some love and doing either
the three um but yeah without further
ado let's get right into the video
so these are some of the tips that i
don't feel anyone on youtube has really
talked about
so this is gonna be the go-to video to
watch before you donate plasma
and so let's get into it okay these are
some of the things that i
didn't know about donating plasma until
i did and went in and learned about it
for myself today
okay so i'm going to be reading from my
phone the list of rules
that you all need to know before
you uh may disqualify yourself
from donating plasma without even
knowing it okay
you cannot donate plasma if you have hiv
or aids okay you just cannot they won't
allow it
it's just a policy that they have okay
you cannot donate
plasma if in the last in the last 12
months
you've lived with a person who has
hepatitis um you have been locked up
you've gone to jail or prison or
juvenile
detention center for 72 consecutive
hours
and also if you've had central contact
with anyone who has hepatitis okay
so if it's been 12 months if it's been a
whole year
in a day then and and you've done all
that or whatever
if it's been 12 months in a day then you
can qualify
for donating plasma but if it's anywhere
less than 12 months you cannot do that
okay
next up okay this disqualifies you from
donating plasma if you've done
this in the last four months okay and
this is what
blew my mind because i had no idea and i
was about to do one of the things
here on this list okay so um
if you've gotten a tattoo or a touch-up
um if you got an ear or body piercing
who knew that could disqualify you from
donating plasma i didn't know
i wanted to get my belly button pierced
my cartilage pierced and
i was just like you know i was i was
just procrastinating on doing that
um but had i done that
you know in the last couple of weeks i
wouldn't have been able to
donate plasma for another
four months so keep that in mind here
are some more
um those are just the ones that apply to
me if you've been raped or sexually
assaulted
had contact with someone else's blood
had a blood transfusion or received
other blood products received money
drugs or other payment for sexual
contact
use needles to take drugs steroids or
anything not prescribed
by your doctor had an accidental
needle stick involving exposure to blood
yikes received bone or tissue from
another person during surgery
and this is for the male donors had
sexual contact with
another male okay
and then for the females it says has
sexual contact with a male who has
sexual contact with another male
they're really big on donors who are hiv
positive that
it just won't work okay um
so if you've had this in the last three
months this disqualifies you from
donating plasma it says
had a history of or been treated for
syphilis or gonorrhea had sexual contact
with anyone who has syphilis
okay so if you've done any of that in
the last three months then that
disqualifies you as well
so i hope that
clarifies um any questions that you all
may have
because me personally i had no idea that
you know getting a piercing or getting a
tattoo
four months prior or a couple weeks
prior could
um disqualify me from donating plasma
again
if you guys want a rundown of what
donated plasma is i'll make another
video about that
if you guys want a little vlog or my
experience video
comment below and i'll go ahead and get
into that um
i had the intentions of donating plasma
today
but because my veins are so small
um and i wasn't hydrated the way i was
supposed to i couldn't do it on today
but i learned so much from today's
experience and i just wanted to go ahead
and hop on youtube and share that with
you all because
while i was researching um the topic of
donating plasma
there was no videos kind of covering
there was a lot of videos talking about
their experience but there was no videos
going behind
the rules that either
could disqualify you um you know
kind of like the informational
background there was just none of that
so i just wanted to be the first to do
that
and i hope this helps i hope you all um
you know learn something from the video
and if not
can tell someone and and actually like
warn
a person if they're get if they're
interested in getting into donating
plasma
um about the rules before they get into
it but yes make sure to like comment and
subscribe
now leclaire hope you guys learned
something
hope you continue to watch my videos
have a good one peace
