Why should I give blood?
The most important reason for becoming a regular blood donor is to meet the blood needs of our community. There is no substitute for human blood; donors are the only source. Every two seconds, someone needs blood, and an adequate blood supply is crucial to their survival. Remember, just one pint of your blood can save as many as four lives.
The demand for blood continues to increase, yet only 7% of the population donates.

Can I get AIDS by donating blood?
There is no way you can be exposed to the AIDS virus by donating blood. All needles and equipment are pre-packaged, sterile and disposable. Nothing is ever re-used on another donor.
