    Hi i was wondering does anybody know what are the regulations in regard to people who are carriers of certain of deficiencies. I was diagnosed as a carrier of alpha-1 a few weeks back. I use to go up to the blood centre with my dad a lot when i was young so im guessing its about time that i contributed myself. Ivve tried the IBTS's website but its a very broad thing mainly about age and countries visited.

    Cheers.

    Go to the clinic and ask!
    Even if you can't donate, at least you've tried!
