How to Prepare for Your First Donation

Three simple things to do before your first clinic visit to give yourself the best chance of passing initial screening.

🚫

Abstain Before Your Visit

For your first visit to the clinic, you should have a minimum of 2–3 days of sexual abstinence. When you do engage in sexual activity, use condoms and lubes without spermicides.

Stay Positive

Focus on the good your donation will do for others. A positive mindset makes the experience more rewarding.

Light Exercise

Light physical activity can release endorphins, which help relieve stress before your clinic visit.
