Short Answer
Usually, you should wait until the infection has been treated and you have recovered.
Detailed Explanation
An active infection can affect your health and may make you temporarily ineligible to donate. The type of infection, symptoms, treatment, and medicines involved can influence the waiting period.
Always disclose recent or current infections during donor screening. The blood bank medical officer will determine whether and when you can donate.
Key Points
- Active illness generally requires postponing donation.
- Complete treatment and recovery first.
- Tell the medical officer about recent infections.
- Do not hide symptoms to qualify for donation.
- Eligibility depends on the specific infection and current guidelines.
