<h3><a class="a-red" data-toggle="collapse" href="#one">How does the blood donation process work ?</a></h3>
<div id="one" class="collapse">
<p>Donating blood is a simple thing to do, but can make a big difference in the lives of others. The donation process from the time you arrive until the time you leave takes about an hour. The donation itself is only about 8-10 minutes on average. The steps in the process are:
<br><p>Registration</p>
<div> <ol><li>You will complete donor registration, which includes information such as your name, address, phone number, and donor identification number (if you have one).
</li><li>You will be asked to show a donor card, driver’s license or two other forms of ID.</li></ol></div>
<p>Health History and Mini Physical</p>
<div><ol><li>You will answer some questions during a private and confidential interview about your health history and the places you have traveled.
</li><li>You will have your temperature, hemoglobin, blood pressure and pulse checked.</li></ol></div>
<p>Donation</p>
<div><ol><li>We will cleanse an area on your arm and insert a brand–new, sterile needle for the blood draw. This feels like a quick pinch and is over in seconds.
</li><li>You will have some time to relax while the bag is filling. (For a whole blood donation, it is about 8-10 minutes. If you are donating platelets, red cells or plasma by apheresis the collection can take up to 2 hours.)
</li><li>When approximately a pint of blood has been collected, the donation is complete and a staff person will place a bandage on your arm.
</li></ol></div>
<p> Refreshments</p>
<div> <ol><li>You will spend a few minutes enjoying refreshments to allow your body time to adjust to the slight decrease in fluid volume.
</li><li>After 10-15 minutes you can then leave the donation site and continue with your normal daily activities.
</li><li>Enjoy the feeling of accomplishment knowing that you have helped to save lives.
</li></ol></div>Your gift of blood may help up to three people. Donated red blood cells do not last forever. They have a shelf-life of up to 42 days. A healthy donor may donate every 56 days.
</div></div><!-- /.blog-post -->
<div class="blog-post" >
<h3><a class="a-red" data-toggle="collapse" href="#two">What should I do after donating blood?</a></h3>
<div id="two" class="collapse">
<p>Take the following precautions:<br>
<div >
<ul><li>Drink an extra four glasses (eight ounces each) of non-alcoholic liquids.</li>
<li> Keep your bandage on and dry for the next five hours, and do not do heavy exercising or lifting.</li>
<li> If the needle site starts to bleed, raise your arm straight up and press on the site until the bleeding stops.</li>
<li> Because you could experience dizziness or loss of strength, use caution if you plan to do anything that could put you or others at risk of harm. For any hazardous occupation or hobby, follow applicable safety recommendations regarding your return to these activities following a blood donation.</li>
<li> Eat healthy meals and consider adding iron-rich foods to your regular diet, or discuss taking an iron supplement with your health care provider, to replace the iron lost with blood donation.</li></ul>
</div><div>If you get a bruise:</div> <div class="padder">Apply ice to the area intermittently for 10-15 minutes during the first 24 hours. Thereafter, apply warm, moist heat to the area intermittently for 10-15 minutes. A rainbow of colors may occur for about 10 days.
</div><br><div>If you get dizzy or lightheaded :</div>
<div class="padder">Stop what you are doing, lie down, and raise your feet until the feeling passes and you feel well enough to safely resume activities.
</div><br>And remember to enjoy the feeling of knowing you have helped save lives!
Schedule your next appointment .
If this is your first donation, expect your Donor Card in the mail within 6-8 weeks.

<h3><a class="a-red" data-toggle="collapse" href="#three">Will it hurt when you insert the needle?</a> </h3>
<div id="three" class="collapse">
<p class="padder">Only for a moment. Pinch the fleshy, soft underside of your arm. That pinch is similar to what you will feel when the needle is inserted. </p>
</div></div><!-- /.blog-post -->
<div class="blog-post">
<h3><a class="a-red" data-toggle="collapse" href="#four">How long does a blood donation take ?</a></h3>
<div id="four" class="collapse">
<p class="padder">The entire process takes about one hour and 15 minutes; the actual donation of a pint of whole blood unit takes eight to 10 minutes. However, the time varies slightly with each person depending on several factors including the donor’s health history and attendance at the blood drive.</p>
</div></div><!-- /.blog-post -->
<div class="blog-post">
<h3><a class="a-red" data-toggle="collapse" href="#five">How long will it take to replenish the pint of blood I donate?</a></h3>
<div id="five" class="collapse">
<p class="padder">The plasma from your donation is replaced within about 24 hours. Red cells need about four to six weeks for complete replacement. That’s why at least eight weeks are required between whole blood donations.</p>
</div></div><!-- /.blog-post -->
<div class="blog-post">
<h3><a class="a-red" data-toggle="collapse" href="#six">Why does the BloodBank ask so many personal questions when I give blood?</a></h3>
<div id="six" class="collapse">
<p class="padder">The highest priorities of the BloodBank are the safety of the blood supply and our blood donors. Some individuals may be at risk of transferring communicable disease through blood donation due to exposure via travel or other activities or may encounter problems with blood donation due to their health. We ask these questions to ensure that it is safe for patients to receive your blood and to ensure that it is safe for you to donate blood that day.</p>
</div></div><!-- /.blog-post -->
<div class="blog-post">
<h3><a class="a-red" data-toggle="collapse" href="#seven">How often can I donate blood?</a></h3>
<div id="seven" class="collapse">
<p class="padder">You must wait at least eight weeks (56 days) between donations of whole blood and 16 weeks (112 days) between double red cell donations. Platelet apheresis donors may give every 7 days up to 24 times per year. Regulations are different for those giving blood for themselves (autologous donors).</p>
</div></div><!-- /.blog-post -->
<div class="blog-post">
<h3><a class="a-red" data-toggle="collapse" href="#eight">Who can donate blood?</a></h3>
<div id="eight" class="collapse">
<p class="padder">In most states, donors must be age 17 or older. Some states allow donation by 16-year-olds with a signed parental consent form. Donors must weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health. Additional eligibility criteria apply.
</p>
</div></div><!-- /.blog-post -->
<div class="blog-post">
<h3><a class="a-red" data-toggle="collapse" href="#nine">Is it safe to give blood?</a></h3>
<div id="nine" class="collapse">
<p class="padder">Donating blood is a safe process. Each donor’s blood is collected through a new, sterile needle that is used once and then discarded. Although most people feel fine after donating blood, a small number of people may feel lightheaded or dizzy, have an upset stomach or experience a bruise or pain where the needle was inserted. Extremely rarely, loss of consciousness, nerve damage or artery damage occur.</p>
</div></div><!-- /.blog-post -->
<div class="blog-post">
<h3><a class="a-red" data-toggle="collapse" href="#eight1">Can I get HIV from donating blood?</a></h3>
<div id="eight1" class="collapse">
<p class="padder">No. Sterile procedures and disposable equipment are used in all Red Cross donor centers. We use a needle only once and then dispose of it. You cannot contract HIV or other viral disease by donating blood.</p>
</div></div><!-- /.blog-post -->
<div class="blog-post">
<h3><a class="a-red" data-toggle="collapse" href="#eight2">Is it true that I can get a free AIDS test when I donate blood?</a></h3>
<div id="eight2" class="collapse">
<p class="padder">You should not give blood to get tested for AIDS. Using blood donation as a way to get tested could put the blood supply at risk and endanger patients. HIV antibodies may take a few weeks to develop after infection with the virus. If you were recently infected, you might have a negative test result, yet be able to infect the recipient of your donation. That is why you must not give blood if you are at risk of getting AIDS or other infectious diseases. Individuals at risk for contracting HIV should contact their local health department for AIDS testing.</p>
</div></div><!-- /.blog-post -->
<div class="blog-post">
<h3><a class="a-red" data-toggle="collapse" href="#eight3">If my blood tests HIV-positive , will I be informed about the result ?</a></h3>
<div id="eight3" class="collapse">
<p class="padder">Yes. Donors who are confirmed positive for any infectious disease are notified and have the opportunity to receive counseling with a specially trained, professional Red Cross donor counselor.</p>
</div></div><!-- /.blog-post --><div class="blog-post">
<h3><a class="a-red" data-toggle="collapse" href="#eight4">How will the Red Cross contact me if I have a disease?</a></h3>
<div id="eight4" class="collapse">
<p class="padder">The Red Cross regards blood test results as private and confidential information. The Red Cross may contact you by letter or call to arrange a counseling appointment, but the Red Cross does not disclose information regarding positive blood test results to anyone but the donor, except as required by law. The Red Cross maintains a confidential list of people who may be at risk for spreading transfusion-transmitted diseases. When required by law, we report donor information, including test results, to health departments, military medical commands, and regulatory agencies. Donation information may also be used confidentially for medical studies.</p>
</div></div><!-- /.blog-post -->
<div class="blog-post">
<h3><a class="a-red" data-toggle="collapse" href="#eightt">What does the Red Cross do with my blood ?</a></h3>
<div id="eightt" class="collapse">
<p class="padder">The blood will be delivered to a blood bank component laboratory where it is processed into several components (e.g., red blood cells, plasma, platelets and/or cryoprecipitate). A single blood donation may help up to three different people.</p>
</div></div><!-- /.blog-post -->
<div class="blog-post">
<h3><a class="a-red" data-toggle="collapse" href="#eighte">Why am I charged for blood at the hospital when I have donated blood to the BloodBank previously ?</a></h3>
<div id="eighte" class="collapse">
<p class="padder">BloodBank is reimbursed by hospitals for the costs associated with providing blood to hospital patients. The Red Cross does not charge for the blood itself that you have so generously donated. The Red Cross only recovers the costs associated with the recruitment and screening of potential donors, the collection of blood by trained staff, the processing and testing of each unit of blood in state-of-the-art laboratories, and the labeling, storage, and distribution of blood components. Hospitals may have their own additional charges related to the administration of blood and may pass on these costs to their patients.</p>
</div></div><!-- /.blog-post -->
<div class="blog-post">
<h3><a class="a-red" data-toggle="collapse" href="#eightd">Can I donate blood for myself?</a></h3>
<div id="eightd" class="collapse">
<p class="padder">An autologous donation is when you donate blood for yourself before having surgery or a planned medical procedure. Autologous donations require a physician prescription. Contact your doctor first to find out if you should donate blood for yourself.</p>

<h4>About</h4>
<p>Blood is universally recognized as the most precious element that sustains life. It saves innumerable lives across the world in a variety of conditions.
The need for blood is great - on any given day, approximately 39,000 units of Red Blood Cells are needed. More than 29 million units of blood components
are transfused every year. Donate Blood Despite the increase in the number of donors, blood remains in short supply during emergencies, mainly
attributed to the lack of information and accessibility. We positively believe this tool can overcome most of these challenges by effectively
connecting the blood donors with the blood recipients.</p>
