CureIllness first: The general rule on treatable infectious diseases is that after cure an individual can donate blood. There are a few exceptions. A good source for information and a list of donor qualifications can be found at www.Redcrossblood.Org

No: Brucellosis is infamous for hiding in the body even after treatment. Most of us think you shouldn't donate blood if you've ever had a solid diagnosis of brucellosis.
