Permanently Deferred:
People who:
* Have had hepatitis at age eleven or older.
* Have received chemotherapy or radiation for the treatment of cancer.
* Are at high risk of contracting the HIV virus/AIDS.
* Due to current concerns with bovine spongiform encephalopathy and new-variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, blood centers are deferring donors who spent any cumulative period of 3 or more months in the United Kingdom from 1980 through 1996. Please consult your regional blood center regarding other possible deferral policies.
