Every time we want to donate blood, the standard procedure is that our blood will be checked for various diseases such as HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, and malaria. For those who receive blood donations, this is important information to anticipate the transmission of disease through blood transfusions. As for you, this is a good 'warning sign' so that you pay more attention to your own health condition.
