A member asked:
Will i need to get tested after a blood transfusion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Unless there is a specific concern, then there is no real need, as the blood banking system is very careful in testing the units it receives prior to release, with most infectious diseases having about an 1:1, 000, 000 risk.
