dean Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 I gave blood to the Thai Red Cross in Bangkok (behind the hospital that is across the street from Lumpini Park, where Silom Road begins). It took 45 minutes and in many ways, it was easier there than when I give blood in the U.S. Al in all, I'll probably make it an annual event, whenever I go to Thailand.

thai3 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 OK as long as you've had an HIV test and no unprotected sex for the last three months. Not everyone here would be eligible-peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean Posted February 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 True, they do ask enough questons concerning what drugs you have been takeing and whether you have had unprotected sex, I would hope that most people answer them correctly and not use the Red Cross to test your blood for AIDs or any sexually transmitted viruses. The other thing you may want to consider is giving blood reduces the amount left over for a proper erection. You may want to wait until your last day in Thailand to give blood (assuming that you don't take viagra, which stays in the bloodstream). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
