Is there any place that even let’s you know that your blood has been used and who received it? That seems needlessly risky.

Where I am, you get a message when it’s been used, but obviously not any identifying information.
Also I have absolutely no way of knowing if the message is legit or they just tell you that a random time after your donation regardless just to make it feel good and donate again.

I could see the point in that. Here you don’t even know if the donated blood will be used for research or for life saving operations.

That’s a HIPAA violation in the US. It’s a huge mistake. Hospitals lose cases in the millions over one.

Where I give blood just tells you when its sent to a hospital and which hospital got it.
I’ll do a quick look up of the hospital if its one I haven’t seen before, but other than that I have no idea who got it.

Not in my country. I just give blood, get free chocolate and a day off work, that’s all that matters to me.

I get some cookies, but I have to donate in my free time.

Oh right I forgot. When you get a blood transfusion they take all of your current blood out first and also make your body stop producing its own in the future

Fake: Anon should not be able to track the guy from such a simple notification
Gay: Anon was inside a guy

A slightly less deranged and more wholesome way of putting this would be to basically describe the blood donor as the greatest wingman ever.
… The recepient most likely couldn’t have done it without him.

Virgin anon doesn’t even know what third base is
Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Referring to bases at all is a virgin thing. I don’t think I’ve ever heard an adult use them. Once you’ve had sex, the “bases” just become different types of foreplay or “hook ups” that are nobody else’s business.

The fiction began at line 3.

Maybe not, I’ve gotten that message a whole TWO times in 10+ years of giving blood. Got the message once in 2022, and the second time last July. Both of them were sent at exactly 10:00 AM, which is a bit suspicious… but if it’s a lie, I wonder why they don’t send it more often…

You didn’t fuck his girl, you held his dick up while he fucked his girl.
You ultra-cucked yourself.

That’s the gay part.
Now do the fake…

Tracking the guy down. No way to legally acquire the info you would need.
