Is it possible to get infected when donating blood?
Blood is collected in sterile, disposable plastic bags, and instruments and work tools are used only once, so there is not even the slightest risk of infection during blood donation.

Blood donors can be healthy individuals aged 18 to 65 who do not suffer from chronic cardiovascular diseases or diabetes.
A person who wants to donate blood must have an identity document with them.
The human body mass must be at least 50 kilograms.
Before donating blood, the donor must be well rested, have a light meal, and drink plenty of fluids – mineral water, juice.

It is recommended not to smoke on the day of blood donation.
The blood donation procedure lasts from 6 to 15 minutes. The standard physiological dose of donor blood is 450ml. Such doses are taken in blood centers all over the world, because they do not harm human health.
Another 15-20 ml of blood is taken for testing.
