giving blood - sexual health questions

Don't do it the blood transfusion service test for blood bourne infections not sexually transmitted infections - if you get chlamydia from him and don't realise you can end up with pelvic inflammatory disease that can leave you infertile

I agree with everyone else. Please don't do it! Use protection all the way. As has been said, the pill doesn't protect 100% but on top of that, it's not just pregnancy you need protecting from. I also think it's suspicious to use a blood test as a health check. That's not what they're for! I have to admit that any man who said that to me, I wouldn't trust and would get a condom chucked at him quicker than you can say STD

NOOOOO! Use condoms. When you've been together a while, get tested together. There are too many nasty diseases not picked up by the blood donation tests, even if they were in the habit of calling people back to inform them they were infected which to my knowledge they don't.

If he really likes you he'll understand. If he tries to be pushy, tell him where to go!
