O positive here. I have donated over 2 gallons. If you can donate a double unit, I suggest asking to see if they have the Alyx machine. The ALYX machine collects two units of red blood cells instead of one. Platelets and plasma are returned to the donor by a single-use disposable kit and the donor receives a saline solution for hydration. Before going this route, I would feel horrible after giving, but by doing it this way, I don’t feel bad at all.

Thanks. A blood transfusion saved my life.
