"Donor who reported sexual contact with HIV-positive person allowed to give plasma in Regina: documents
Grifols says plasma goes through rigorous safety tests before being used
Health Canada inspection documents reveal a person who said they'd had sexual contact with someone who tested positive for HIV was allowed to give plasma twice at a for-profit donation centre in Regina.
An inspection exit report obtained by CBC details multiple deficiencies that led federal regulators to find the Grifols paid plasma centre in Regina non-compliant following an inspection that began Jan. 13 of this year.
That includes documenting "multiple times" when people who had punctures and bruising on their veins were allowed to give plasma, without any documented additional assessment of the donor's suitability."
