		+	Many infections can be spread by donated material. It is important that the donor does not pose a risk of giving an infection to a recipient. Waiting two weeks from when the infection is better and seven days from completing systemic antibiotic, anti-fungal or anti-viral treatment makes it much less likely that there will still be a risk of the infection being passed on.

		+	There is no evidence that cold sores, genital herpes and common upper respiratory infections can be passed on through blood products but it is still necessary to wait until any such infection is getting better before allowing donation.
		+
		+	'''Unusual bacterial/fungal/protozoal infections'''
		+
		+	Specialist microbiological advice should be sought when considering using cells and tissues from donors who have had unusual infections in the past, including those acquired outside of Western Europe. This should include infections common in immune-compromised patients, or infections which lie dormant or may be difficult to eradicate.
