you can't give blood if you've ever used steroids because they assume you've injected with needles that were not prescibed or administered by a lic. phycisian. therefore, you have HIV or hepititus. This is what I've been told anyway. So, you have to lie on their questionaire if you want to give.
Not only that, but it may not be safe for women to use the blood, especially pregnant women since a developing fetus is hypersensitive to androgen levels, which dictate sex organ development. Suprabiological androgen levels in blood would cause significant birth defects.
