If your answer is "yes" for Questions 2a, 2b and 2c, then they wont use your blood at all.
Question 2a, 2b, 2c
The above activities are considered as a potential risk factor for contracting the AIDS virus and other Sexually Transmitted Diseases. According to international guidelines, any donors who have the above risk factors are advised to stop blood donation for a period of 12 months. This is a precautionary measure to ensure blood safety in the country.
If your answer is "yes" for Question 3?
Question 3
The above activity is considered as a potential risk factor for contracting AIDS virus. According to the international guidelines, any donors who have the above risk factor are advised to stop blood donation permanently. This is a precautionary measure to ensure the blood safety in the country.
Like what SS said, lying in the questionaire is a serious offence.
All donors should read through "An Important Message to Blood Donors" and clarify any queries or doubts before they donate blood. All donors are required to answer every question truthfully. Any answer, which is false or misleading, would render them liable to prosecution for supplying false information under the Infectious Diseases Act
65. Any person guilty of an offence under this Act for which no penalty is expressly provided shall —
(a) in the case of a first offence, be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or to both; and
(b) in the case of a second or subsequent offence, be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $20,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both.
