Ruth D. Sylvester, Director of Regulatory Services for America's Blood:
"Donating blood is not an appropriate mechanism to obtain screening for sexually transmitted diseases or any other test result. Though donated blood is screened, and is safer than it has ever been, the hallmark of the system is the honesty of the donor in completing the donor history questionnaire. Additionally, in the eyes of the Food and Drug Administration, these donors would not be considered "volunteer" because they are donating for the purposes of obtaining something in return, hence, they would have a reason to be less than truthful."
