oh heck, i started when i was 18 and i am 43 now... so many many many years! When i lived in Germany for 3 years, they refused me to donate blood, cause they believed everybody living in Africa is infected with the HIV virus! WHAT CRAP... so i could not save lives in Germany... too bad... i tried...

Oh i can imagine, i think most people get nervous donating blood... especially for the first time, because everybody reacts differently. But if you had something to eat you should be fine. But should you feel faint, go sit immediatly and if possible nibble on something salty and vinegar... we have potatoe chips in South Africa from Simba brand called :Salt&Vinegar, they work wonders if people feel fainty after donating blood...
