Actually, a very small part of every donation is mixed together with that of other donors to reduce the costs of testing if the blood is safe.

They even use a 1000++€ AIDS test which can detect HIV within a 3-week time span, instead of 3 months. Thanks the blood donation tests, I found I had a punctual lack of iron earlier this year.
