Please contact us on our Donor Infoline 1800 731 137 for advice if you visited Kenya for a holiday or business trip that was under 6 months in duration within he last 12 months due to the number of travel associated risks in this country,
There is a risk of malaria in most parts of the country
If any of the risk factors listed below apply to you:
- You lived at any time in any malarial endemic area for a continuous period of 6 months or more
- You ever had malaria
- You ever had an unexplained fever associated with any malarial endemic area
- Please click here for more information on Malaria
Samples can be taken (but not a donation) to include a malaria antibody test:
- If a minimum of 6 months have elapsed since you left any malaria area
- You are fully recovered from malaria for at least 3 years (where applicable)
- You are fully recovered from the unexplained fever for at least 6 months and it is 6 months since you left the malarial area
You will be able to attend a clinic 42 days later if the malaria test is negative ( the IBTS will contact you if the test result is positive) .Once all other criteria are met on future visits a test for malaria will be carried out in our labs every time you donate.
