POOR REASON FOR NOT DONATING BLOOD

First is “I’m afraid” because everyone’s scared the first time around but after one
donation you will even wonder why you have ever hesitated. Second is “it hurts” where
you will only feel a slight pinch on your arm, that’s it. Third is that “I’m too busy” so let’s
remember that a little of your time can mean a lifetime for someone. Fourth is “I’m
anemic” you will be checked before you even donate if your hemoglobin is low, you will
be temporarily deferred but you can always come back and try again. The last reason is
that “I’m afraid of getting AIDS and other disease” so there is no way you can be
exposed to AIDS by donating. All needles and other supplies are sterile and disposable.
