Meek officials say donors are screened verbally before giving blood, looking for at risk behaviors like drug use or high risk sex.

Once the blood is taken there are more test that take place. Once those with at risk behaviors are eliminated for the pool, there are more previsions.

If they do find a positive they contact the donor and encourage them to see their primary car physician.
