Q: A person who takes a week-long vacation to a country where malaria is present is deferred from donating blood for how long?
- 1 year if the person took anti-malarial prophylaxis (Incorrect. Whether or not the person takes anti-malarials is irrelevant to the deferral (see correct answer below for more information))
- 1 year if the person had symptoms of malaria (Incorrect. Someone who actually has malaria is deferred for three years after recovery.)
- 1 year regardless of symptoms or prophylaxis (Incorrect. We don't know enough about where the donor actually WAS in the country (see below).)
- 3 years if the person is bitten by mosquitoes (Incorrect. This would be really difficult to enforce!)
- No deferral unless in a high-risk area for more than 24 hours (correct) (This is correct! Being in a country where malaria is present is not enough to cause a deferral, unless the person is actually in the area of the country where the CDC defines a high risk for malaria for more than 24 hours.) (if not chosen: This is the correct answer! Being in a country where malaria is present is not enough to cause a deferral, unless the person is actually in the area of the country where the CDC defines a high risk for malaria for more than 24 hours.)
