Deferral periods for donors with a sexually transmitted disease vary.
You may eligible if it has been more than 12 months since you completed treatment for syphilis or gonorrhea.
Chlamydia is not a cause for deferral once it has been treated.
If you have genital herpes, you are eligible to donate once lesions have healed.
Venereal warts (HPV/human papilloma virus) are not a cause for deferral.
If you have questions about sexually transmitted diseases and donor eligibility, call blood bank.
