are you in china?? lol I think if you're in America you're ok, but hell if you goto china and you get into an accident I would NOT let those guys use blood on you..
Though here's a question for med types, I could ask the wife but she's at work. All the blood in that vat would have HIV but when you extract plasma does the plasma carry the HIV too? so all that plasma has HIV as well? I would think it does but I am not sure. But needless to say I wont be traveling to china anytime soon.
