It looks like the standard blood "Donor Battery" includes anti-HCV, so regular donors are already being screened.
Of course, you shouldn't donate blood for the purpose of getting tested for a disease.
- koheripbal 7y agoThere is a question on the blood donation form that asks if you are donating for the purposes of testing yourself. If you answer yes, then your donation is discarded.
- ken 7y agoThere's no one universal questionnaire. No such question exists at any blood center I've donated at. If you answer any question in a way that would lead to the blood being unusable, they wouldn't go to the effort of taking a donation just to discard it. At least, my local blood center doesn't.
