Then how do we know we have “bad blood”?

  It's possible for an individual to have a pretty good idea they aren't in good health and shouldn't really be donating without necessarily having affirmative tests for specific infections. It's a meme that homeless people sell plasma and are also alcoholic. You see jokes about stuff like that in TV shows or whatever. I don't know about you, but I don't really want my blood supply to primarily come from homeless people or relatives of people with genetic disorders at high risk of needing an organ transplant. The relatives may not have the disorder but may be carriers and may have health issues they aren't disclosing if their goal is to get points for their deathly ill loved one.
