Have you ever lived in a malarial area?
If you lived at any time of your life in any malarial endemic area for a continuous period of 6 months or more you are considered to be a resident of a malarial area
Samples can be taken (but not a donation) to include a malaria antibody test:
- If a minimum of 6 months have elapsed since you left any malaria area
-
You will be able to attend a clinic 42 days later if the malaria test is negative ( the IBTS will contact you if the test result is positive) .Once all other criteria are met on future visits a test for malaria will be carried out in our labs every time you donate.
