    They do this because many STD like AIDS can have a 6 month incubation period meaning that it could take unto 6 months for it to show on a test. Also, these diseases could be picked up at any time from a sexual encounter. So for example, if someone donates once a month for 3 months staring in January, they would need to be retested in july, august, and September upon each new 6 month release from quarantine to ensure that the donor didn't say contract HIV in March before he donated that month. If you only rest in July for the January vials then automatically release the February and march vials without subsequent retests then you could miss the HIV and pass this disease on. I for one am VERY greatful that Fairfax follows this procedure and it is one of the reasons I have chosen them over other banks. Plus, I think this may be an FDA requirement. HTH!

    They could have had previous donations that were cleared and have donations that aren't yet 6 months old. That's how they could have been available in the past but aren't currently.
