A couple of weeks ago, I was told I needed to give a blood sample which I did. Then I received a letter from Biolife stating I could not donate because I had a STD. I called to get more information and was told they could not discuss my results over the phone. I went to the health department and took another blood test. Turns out the first test was a false positive. I never had the STD. Then I got a call from Biolife stating that I could donate again. The whole experience was unpleasant and stressful.

Few problems: one, make sure you wear nothing that even shows the slightest bit of clevage and/or…read moreshoulder if you're woman (I wore a cute spaghetti strap dress that event even begin to show my clevage and goes down to my ankles so the only skin showing is around my collar bone and arms) and they wouldn't let me to in (despite it being 80°F). I double checked the website and there is NO indication of "please dress conservatively" or anything close to it. I called the day before to see if it would even be worth going. The lady on the phone felt like she was reading off a prompt and sounded incredibly nervous/unsure of herself. So I went today just to accompany my boyfriend. You'd think they have extra tshirts if this was really that bit a deal but whatever. My other issue was that I had to use the restroom real bad and the lady was like "you'll have to use the restroom next door." Okay but why? Third and final issue with this place was the fact that the lady at the door (not sure if it was the same lady who I talked to on the phone) looked and sounded like she had zero confidence in whatever they trained her in. If you're going to work at any kind of medical facility, you can't do this to patients/clients. It leaves them feeling nervous/not okay (I know because I work in the medical field). If you don't know something, don't be afraid to tell them "let me ask my colleague and I'll get back to you." Overall I left just not having a good feeling about this place AT ALL. One last thing, if there's conditions that permanently ban you from donating plasma, STATE THAT ON THE WEBSITE! Their cancer section just says (basically) "please talk to our nurses to discuss your condition". Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that permanently bans you from donating any kind of organ, blood, or plasma for life. This is universal knowledge within the medical community. Boyfriend couldn't even donate today either - apparently a specific mental health condition is completely ineligible despite having ZERO risk of bring transfered via bodily fluids.

He told me the classes I needed to do online but that they would not be offered until after my class I go to. I explained I needed to take a Certification that I had TAKEN the courses online b4 the classroom meets. He kept arguing with me. I had to tell him how it worked.

She not only couldn't get it but then asked another associate for "adjustment" I left without donating as she couldn't get it correctly. There is a small tear and it is still painful. I used to get monthly bloodwork so I know how quick it can be. Not sure why this happened today but won't chance again which is too bad as I have AB positive. It's a needed donation.
