Medical review policy
Eligibility and medical content is written conservatively, sourced to recognized authorities, and reviewed before it is published.
We do not decide eligibility
Our content is general education. Final eligibility is always determined by the donation center during confidential screening. We never tell anyone they are definitely eligible.
Sourcing
We base guidance on recognized authorities, in roughly this order: FDA and national regulator guidance, AABB, the American Red Cross, America's Blood Centers, the CDC and NIH, major academic hospitals, peer-reviewed research, and individual blood centers for local rules.
Review and freshness
Each medical page carries an author, reviewer, last-reviewed date, confidence level, and sources. Pages are scheduled for re-review, and when a major source changes, affected pages are flagged for review.
How we use AI
AI may help draft content, but it does not publish medical or eligibility content without review. It must cite sources, avoid diagnosis, avoid definitive eligibility, avoid any content that helps people game screening, and flag low-confidence rules.
Our no-monetization pledge
BloodBanker does not use affiliate links, paid rankings, or ads on mission pages. We do not sell donor health information. We link to official donation organizations so people can donate safely and locally.
