No. Blood donation itself does not spread infections when performed at a licensed blood donation centre.
Strict infection prevention practices are followed during every blood donation. Sterile, disposable equipment is used for each donor, and all used materials are safely discarded after the procedure.
Additionally, every donated blood unit undergoes mandatory screening for transfusion-transmitted infections before it can be used for patients.
Safe donation practices protect both generous donors and the patients who depend on blood.
