You can donate blood, but depends upon blood bank policies...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

Usually sexual contact with many women may increase chances/risk for various sexually transmitted infections.

As per your history(i e previous contact 4 years back) and considering there is no any symptoms at present, you can donate blood.

Anyway blood banks screen all blood bags for various diseases including sexually transmitted infection before dispensing.

So after detailed physical examination and basic laboratory investigation complete hemogram, you can donate blood.

But as per various blood bank policies, person having/history of multiple sexual partners is not eligible to donate blood.

Hope I have answered your query...
Let me know if I can assist you further.
