Not before donating (At least not in the UK). However - EVERY unit of blood or plasma donated goes through extensive testing and screening procedures before being given to a patient. These include (but are not limited to) - tests for HIV Hepatitis & AIDS. Each donation is also tested for purity - including any residual drugs the donor may have taken recently.
