NHS Blood and Transplant’s Clinical Support Team provides support and advice for any donor whose blood donation tests positive for infection.

The donor will be asked to discuss the result with one of NHS Blood and Transplant’s Clinical Support Team clinical staff and, with the donor’s consent, NHS Blood and Transplant’s Clinical Support Team will arrange a referral to their general practitioner or a specialist, who will discuss the need for any treatment with the donor.
