After looking at the National Blood Services' website I found the following stipulations for when you shouldn't give blood:

4 You've ever injected yourself with drugs - even once.


You should not give blood for 12 months after sex with:

1 A man who has had sex with another man (if you're a female).
2 A prostitute.
3 Anyone who has ever injected themselves with drugs.
4 Anyone with haemophilia or a related blood clotting disorder who has received clotting factor concentrates.
5 Anyone of any race who has been sexually active in parts of the world where AIDS/HIV is very common. This includes countries in Africa.
I'm just going to go ahead and assume you've been whoring yourself out to haemophiliacs
