GRIFOLS INC

this place is horrible and needs investigated criminalyyes criminaly
I was told to recite my addres per FDA regulationsas a donator of other centers in san diego I know this to be acomplete liei was told I could not donate because of this reasonbut I was also told that I would be compensated for this trip of dollarsi was not compensated I had no money given to me
now to the FDA criminal regulationshttp://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/BloodBloodProducts/Question...⇄ /> as noted here a fact women are at a higher risk of trasmitting aid then menall homosexual behavior is not permitted in the plasma centers
but on the very first day of me being in biomat there was a abviose gay *** woman in the center very angry talking to the corperate offica about her not being paid again herefor an address problemshe lived in the same house for years and they refused to pay her being her address they said was not correct
now this *** man woman gay type had a *** star tattooed on her left forearm and had a tattoo of a naked woman she also had *** pride tattoo under the naked womannow the fda clearly bands these type people from ever donating
now the center in the first visit asks if you are gay? simple rightbut then they need to check for body piercings scars for surgers and for tattoos now how when documenting these things on paper could anyone miss the I am a proud *** tatooed on a womaneven with a mans military hair cut and mens clothing you can tell that its a women from the breastsnot to mention her using the womans bathroom
so as they may argue my address complaint all they like and paying for for showing up on sep 23rd was not a requirement by law but only a curtosywell they never paid meand the allowing these homosexuals to participate in donations that they admit goes back into the public in not exceptable by federal lawand to note my last donation there was this time a white *** *** sitting next to methe time before a red eyed man homosexualso for times I this place I have encountered homosexuals not very good for a center that is told by federal law to screen everyone every visit for high risk behaver
this needs reported and followed up on by the FDA for the complete non compliance of FDA federal lawsthat prohibit them for collecting and dispursing plasma from a pers with high risk behaiver
Questions about Blood Donations
What is FDA's policy on blood donations from men who have sex with other men?
Men who have had sex with other men (MSM), at any time since (the beginning of the AIDS epidemic in the United States) are currently deferred as blood donorsThis is because MSM are, as a group, at increased risk for HIV, hepatitis B and certain other infections that can be transmitted by transfusion
Why doesn't FDA allow men who have had sex with men to donate blood?
FDA's primary responsibility with regard to blood and blood products is to assure the safety of patients who receive these life-saving productsFDA uses multiple layers of safeguards in its approach to ensuring blood safety, which include donor screening and deferral based on risk factors, blood testing for markers of infection, inventory controls, and deferral registriesThe use of these multiple layers helps to assure the safety of the products in the event that one layer fails
A history of male-to-male sex is associated with an increased risk for exposure to and transmission of certain infectious diseases, including HIV, the virus that causes AIDSMen who have had sex with other men represent approximately 2% of the US population, yet are the population most severely affected by HIVIn 2010, MSM accounted for at least 61% of all new HIV infections in the U.Sand an estimated 77% of diagnosed HIV infections among males were attributed to male-to-male sexual contactBetween and 2010, the estimated overall incidence of HIV was stable in the U.SHowever the incidence in MSM increased 12%, while it decreased in other populationsThe largest increase was a 22% increase in MSM aged to yearsSince younger individuals are more likely to donate blood, the implications of this increase in incidence need to be further evaluated
Is FDA's policy of excluding MSM blood donors discriminatory?
FDA's deferral policy is based on the documented increased risk of certain transfusion transmissible infections, such as HIV, associated with male-to-male sex and is not based on any judgment concerning the donor's sexual orientation
What about men who have had a low number of partners, practice safe sex, or who are currently in monogamous relationships?
Having had a low number of partners is known to decrease the risk of HIV infectionHowever, to date, no donor eligibility questions have been shown to reliably identify a subset of MSM (e.g., based on monogamy or safe sexual practices) who do not still have a substantiall
