Hep c virus been eradicated for a yard now, can now donate blood or never?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask the Red Cross: even though your hepatitis C virus may have been eradicated, I would bet that when you tell the Red Cross that you have a history of hepatitis C, they will likely reject your blood. Although it may be safe, they would likely err on the side of caution. I would ask them though, if you have a desire to donate. Good luck.
