Hello Health Nurse,

First of all, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. :)

I am interested in giving my blood to those in need. Where can I find information about this? :) I live in Vancouver, BC.

Hi visioneast


Here is the web site for the Canadian blood services.
www.blood.ca/

They give a complete list of where you can donate. They also have criteria you need to meet before donating e.g. no recent dental work, no sore throat etc.

The web site also states that you need to fill out a donor questionnaire (which is done privately) and it includes “questions on health and certain high-risk activities”. I have called the blood services and asked what type of activities would exclude you from donating. They have stated some of the following restrictions.

• If you have sex with another man you are not allowed to donate.
• If you have snorted cocaine you need to wait 12 months before donating.
• They do not have a specific policy if you are having sex with a sex worker but state that if you have sex with someone you don’t really know you need to wait 6 months.

They have a phone number on their website if you would like to ask them directly.
